So this is what a pingpong ball feels like. I've been trying to close a request for 3 days now. The whole Johnny B leaving thing has caused havoc to our requests. First, the vendor contacts me and asks what is the status of the payment. I contact the purchaser and he asks me to contact the controller. I contact the controller and asks him what's keeping the payment and he says that I should go back to purchasing. Purchasing then asks me to change ownership of the request from Johnny B's to my name. I contact e-Biz and after sending email back and forth finally decides that I should go back to purchasing to regenerate a PO. I still await purchasing's reply to my email. I have a feeling that he'll point me to somebody new. -------------------- My brain is three quarters of fried for this week. A colleague in the US asked me how I was coping up with the situation. I said I was ok. She said to call her if I had a problem. Johnny B leaving was such a shock. I told her we're doing ok considering. She said, "You're just a kid!". Hmmm... I don't know how to take that answer... -------------------- I'm as conventional and predictable as one could get. I'm trying to recall something that I did that was unpredictable. I couldn't come up with any. I couldn't even come up with a list of the things that I do extraordinarily well. One might call me, extraordinarily ordinary. I don't have any musical talents. Am not athletic. I'm not a creative type. I'm just plain predictable. I've never done anything that would elicit a "Wow! You did that?!". Only consolation I get is that noone has yet to say that I am boring.
