conversation with ozzy

this is an accurate transcript of a conversation i had with the spaced out guy i work with, whom i refer to as ozzy. i asked him to install windows server on 4 servers last week.

ozzy: what are you doing there?
me: i am building some servers.
ozzy: hey, they look like the ones i did last week!. why are re-installing them!?
me: there is no operating system (windows server) on them, and i need to get them done.
ozzy: but i already did them last week, i sent you a mail.
me: but there is no operating system installed on them.
ozzy: check your mail, i am sure i did them.
me: mate, there is no operating system installed on them, here take a look. (i show him the screen of one of the servers and nothing is installed and its rebooting itself)
ozzy: so, why are you reinstalling them, you should have told me.
me: but you were sick yesterday and the day before, and i needed the servers so i installed them. its no big deal.
ozzy: you should have still told me.
me: ok, but there was no operating system installed on them and i needed them in a rush yesterday.
ozzy: check your mail, they were done. i mailed you on friday.
me: ok, so you installed them last week, but there is no operating system on them NOW, so i am installing them.
ozzy: well which ones did you install.
me: server1 and server2.
ozzy: but i did them already.
me: there was no operating system installed on them.
ozzy slopes back over to his desk.

how many times can you say to someone there was no operating system installed on the server before they understand?. do you get an idea of what i have to put up with. a lesser man would have broken by now, but not me. i still have my eyes on the prize and the prize is getting out of here from these people.
hope you are having a better day than me. ha ha ha!!!
