Jesus, take the wheel. Actual IM conversation today:

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Sep 29 '22, 04:27

Them: "We need the data for FY22, 10/1/21 to 9/30/22. All the actuals."

Me: "Today's the 29th, you want through yesterday?"

Them: "The 30th. We need the data today though."

Me: "So, an estimate for today/tomorrow?"

Them: "No, we need actuals."

Me: "So you need through the 28th since I can't guess on the future for things that might happen."

Them: "No, we need full year actuals."

Me: "You can't get actuals from the future."

Them: "Why not?" At this point, I can't tell if they're fucking with me or not.

Me: "Because the time machine is broken and the part to fix it won't be invented until 2029."

Them: "We don't get it." Finally we are in agreement.

Me: "What date does the client need this?"

Them: "End of next week."

Me: "You'll get it Monday afternoon, and not a moment earlier." *prints out the conversation for evidence if a boss comes over yelling*

This clown makes more money than me by a lot.

(even Monday will likely be incorrect too as, depending on your month end schedule you wouldn't have any accruals posted) -- nm - Beaker Sep 29, 05:00 1
- We are all about the commitments… our idiots either are done by 9/30 11:59pm or it’s next year. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 29, 05:19
