Sans punchline.

Okay, so ten days ago, ChaosBoy was wigging out about not getting as much data from one job as we'd hoped and as we should have, due to an error in the product programming that has existed for the past four years but somehow managed to get under his radar until that day.

So, he offered the client 10 free days of equipment rentals for n/c, to collect more data (after we fixed the problem). They only thing they'd have to pay for is the cost of getting a new report generated (we use an outside company for that).

Nothing was too much to offer, no price was too high to pay to fix it all.

Ten days ago.

Today, he's all bitter because they'd had 10 days' free rental and now he has to pay me for 40 minutes to drive over, get the equipment, and bring it back to the office.

Ten days ago, he couldn't offer them enough free stuff.

Today he's mad because they got free stuff.

Today he says to tell them to ship the stuff back but, you know, we always drop off and pick up for this client and the equipment wasn't packed for shipping.

So, tomorrow, I'm going to drive over and get the boxes and not tell him about it. He'll never know the difference. Or, I could argue with him until he does it my way. (That's inevitable since there's no way he'll call the client himself and say that he's now sorry he went the extra mile for them.)

And the weird thing is he's not really even wigging out today.

He's just....

Weird.
