Disconnected Demands

Abdula, the guy who never accomplishes anything, just sent me an email demanding the latest project plan ASAP and CC:d my manager.

It is Sunday.

When was the last time this guy got something done?

Some people are so disconnected.

I replied saying I was currently working on it...what I am doing...and asked about the status of his over due deliverables.

I am sure I will pay for it on Monday. My manager needs his ego stroked and this guy practically sucks his ego into manic phase. I sit there watching him...and my manager...and stare in amazement...wow...he is totally falling for it.

Work hard, be kind, enjoy life. Be a champion. Don't talk bad about others.

I know I know...I did it in my blog. This is therapy and I was very positive in my email. Any other person wouldn't have responded or would have told him where to go.

I don't want to build enemies. I want to build friends. Think long term.
