I am really tired of dealing with the following:
--people who come to me in a panic after submitting a high-priority tech request because they weren't really ready to have it done after all, and why was I working on it?
--people who come to me in a panic after submitting a high-priority tech request because it has to be done RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW and they submitted it TEN WHOLE MINUTES AGO, why isn't it done yet?
--people who come to me because I have not yet responded to their email (now, we do sometimes have problems with email where you don't get it til hours after it was sent, but in this case I checked and the message in question had bene sent SIX MINUTES AGO.)
--coworkers who, after finding that something automated doesn't work right, simply keep retrying it endlessly (and telling me each time that it didn't work) instead of just doing it by hand
