Yesterday was irritating because I was called in to consult on a test. They ignored every single one of my suggested changes to their test plans. It was "who are you?" and "who invited you?" the whole day. Then the big wigs felt it necessary to explain what the different crews were doing. I was so insulted that finally I bit and got into the pissing contest. "Yes, this is what my organization does for a living ... yes we developed that procedure ... you realize the for-record testing will be done with the procedure I recommended ... oh you missed a spot - see, here? ... blah blah blah." I was so insulted at the end of the day. Don't ask for my input and then ignore it, don't invite me out there as a SME consultant and then baby talk to me about stuff I already know. ARGH!
Y'all check in when you can.
Good grief! I'm sure you could have thought of a million other things to do with your time than standing there listening to them ignore you. I'd be thinking of 2 x 4's upside somebody's head!
