Maybe infamous?
I'm sure THAT'S more like it
O.k. I am going to RANT.... /RANT ON
I get this email from a client this morning. Two of our guys are really the leads - one for the Contact Resource Management software; the other for the Accounting software. Acct software guy had a vacation pre-scheduled (like months prior) the week this client goes live. So, CRM-dood is on site (like two states away) the first week of August. Whilst CRM-dood is fielding a buhzillion other questions/issues, DingerCPA gets all the accounting software questions.
Acct software guy returns from vacation, but DingerCPA is *STILL* getting the accounting software questions.
I get an email from client - "We'd really like to have you up here for a few days. Can you come up sometime starting Monday, September 19?"
HELLZ TO THE NO!
1. I really don't want to drive that far for that many days (a day up, 2-3 days onsite, a day back - NO)
2. I don't have more than one free day to string together this month because I already have meetings and appointments that I can't change.
HELLZ NO, I WON'T GO! HELLZ NO, I WON'T GO!!!!!
At least I really don't want to have to go.....

Nope... forward all of the previous emails and responses to Acct-software-vacay-dood and let him deal with it from here on out... That's what I'd do, anyway.
It definitely sux to be HIM.....

Nope, I don't think you are at all. It should be up to the acct software dood to go up there and handle it.
He's even less available than I. I offered remote connection sessions. The client's Controller is "older" and isn't dealing well with the "change" from their old software to the new stuff. (Whaddaya mean I can't just click this and fix it?) They have "farts in skillets" - people who won't sit still long enough to GO THROUGH training. Acct software dood was already up there for a WEEK doing training. CLIENT staff were "too busy" to attend his trainings. Maybe I'm just getting too old and cranky.
Hey... if he don't like it, he can move on and they can give you a promotion and a BIG raise.
... and maybe later monkeys will fly outta my ....!

I only use tobacco blend for my all day vape -- it just works so well with Vanilla, and I'm too lazy to blend my own TB from tobacco absolute + ethyl maltol. I expect it would also do nicely with some other single flavors, perhaps a fruit.
My more tobacco-y mixes are all Seedman Commercial + tobacco absolute diluted + optional caramel/hazelnut/... Vanilla tobacco is "different" -- it has a real tobacco flavoring in the mix, but it doesn't taste like a cigarette at all to me, it's a pretty subtle mix that has the advantage of not skewing your taste buds..

I virtually always copy one or both of them. However, when the client emails me directly..... I don't know if there's an underlying "personality conflict" or what. But I don't want to throw my guys under the bus - they'z my brudders here.
I'm tired and cranky, and my morning data migration appears to have taken a DUMP
A whole section of data appears not to have migrated????C'est la guerre
Time for me to head off to work. I hope everyone has a great afternoon/evening!
@Kaezziel I hope you have an awesome weekend and holiday!!
To you all!

I've already got the tobacco absolute since my brother really liked that one that you sent me for him. I still have to get the seedman's though. I had to get the tobacco blend though because I like the VanTob you sent me way back when and I want to make more of it lol.
If they do, you should charge admission for watching... ya'd make a FORTUNE!!
