Started by being pulled into a phone call with irate people who got themselves into a jam. No actually it started with an email complaining about some crap people did that THEY manage. This is where I say, I’ve been telling you this would happen for 2 years without saying, told you so.
My job isn’t stressful, but today I’m looking for the exit lane and I’ve got 3 more workdays this week. Gonna be fun.
My highlight was yesterday, when someone asked me for next steps for getting approved and he’s committing a trademark infringement against us! He wants to become one of our instructors but he’s already calling himself that on LinkedIn, on top of the trademark violation that looks like he’s maybe using our copyrighted material.
“Sounds good, oh and send me your presentation slides.” Oh I don’t have the slides, they were provided to me … “No problem, who’s your contact? Happy to help get those copies.”
Crickets. Did I mention one of the docs he sent me — all proud of his capabilities — was some random contract from whoever agreed to host him, stating he had to supply all teaching content?
