Rant about work - sorry, long


Ok, a am a consultant. So i have been dealing with this one client for almost 3 months now. I just found out that they are blaming us for something that they should have catch at the beginning!!! And they are not believing me when I say there's only one of 2 ways it could have changed....damn bloody...ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sooooo pi$$ed off! They are not taking any responsibility for anything! It's a new peive of software for them but because it's different, they don't like it. They are just blaming us for things that they either didn't look at and notice (until 2.5 months later!!!!!!!!) or things that work differently than they think it should....sooo frustrating. And to top it off I am emotional and still feeling a little sick and so tired....at least my boss isn't mad (I called him in case they reached him before he gets away on vacation to say that they aren't happy and there is a problem and they don't want to deal with me), or doesn't appear to be. I just don't know what to do. The good news is that if something happens with this job I should be able to find another one...I hope...or it may just kick start me starting my own business...

I know I said something that I shouldn't have to the client.......I said it was too bad that this wasn't caught 2, 2.5 months ago. And the client just stormed off and said "that's right, it's all our fault!" I said that's not what I'm saying, but if it had been noticed earlier we could have fixed it earlier.

And the fact that they don't believe me when I say, it's coming from HERE and can be changed HERE, and that's the only way it can change....and iI really don't want to go down and talk to them, and I really want to run away home and take a nap...

Ok, rant over. Just can't believe don't want to take responsibility for anything and just want to blame others! I always try and shoulder blame, especially if I am partly, or could be partly, to blame. great, all this has upset my stomach again...ugh. Will today ever end?

Ok, feeling a little better after the rant. The client also "almost" admitted that they should have noticed, this, but not really. (If that makes any sense...) At least I am not shaking with anger anymore! And they aren't that angry anymore...until they find out what any ramifications there might be! Then watch out! Anyway, feeling better...eating crackers to settle stomach...seems to be working...no replies are really necessary, just really needed to get it off my chest.

No kidding. I don't need anyone to even say anything, just getting out there is usually enough. And in this case it was.

Still want to tell these people they're freaking idiots...but i can't do that. Not very professional...though I am noticing that I am very cranky and irritable the past few days...I mean, this almost made me cry...i was just that frustrated and pi$$ed up with them blaming the software and us and never taking any responsibility onto themselves...! I am not usually that bad...it's either PMS or pg!
