"Urgent, please call me"
That was the message, a client left me via email last evening, without details of what was so urgent that required my immediate attention. Even after receiving the automatic "out of office" reply, informing people who send me emails, the period I will be out of office and have limited access to my emails, he did not have the courtesy to let me know what was so super urgent.
As a rule for myself, I do not check my office emails on friday nights. Its a friday night after all, I need a break. Secondly, its too late to do anything about anything, as the client will only be reading my reply on monday anyway. But I needed to send an email to my manager last night so at around 12:45am, I logged into my office email account and saw that urgent message. It was relating to some event that would be happening this morning which I was sending my staff to attend. What kind of idiot leaves such a message the night before the event without even giving any details as to what was so bloody urgent. If it was that bloody urgent, then details should be provided so I can act upon it immediately, especially when the sender would have received my auto-reply informing him/her that I am out of office and have limited access to my emails. DUH!
It was too late last night to call anyway so I decided that I would have to wake up extra early this morning to give him a call. At around 7:30am, I gave the stupid man a call but he did not pick up his handphone. I got my staff to call the in-charge of the event and guess what, the so-called bloody urgent thing was to request if we could be at their event premises half an hour later than the agreed time!!! How bloody annoying!!! To think I was so worried about the whole thing and even sacrificed my sleep to wake up early. What a bloody stupid man!! ARGH!!
