See "JUST STUFF" - number 4.....then read this...

And more on this co-worker....

The other night, after I was home, I emailed where the information could be located to the co-worker. I was going to just fix the problem but I thought maybe, just maybe if I let him Find the Info, Read the Info, and Do It Himself, he'll remember something about it in the future. At the last minute, I decided to CC my boss. Just so she was aware a problem was reported to our team blackberry/pager around 2:30 pm but at 9:30 pm, it may not have been resolved.

And I was right.... he didn't call anyone else. And it took two hours after my message went to the blackberry/pager before he got on to fix the problem. I was out of the office on Monday but I was told my boss searched around for information to verify if and when the problem was corrected.

I decided I would say nothing else to my boss regarding this issue.

Granted, the computer problem was not major - but you can't have a problem sit there for 7 hours until someone calls you or contacts you. There are other people you can check with.

Today, my boss calls the coworker into the office -- and from the person that sits closest to the office, she told me that the boss was letting him have it. Someone else overheard him trying to make excuses which the boss was quickly discounting.
He was quiet the rest of the day.

Perhaps, he has learned his lesson.....
and perhaps I'll be a size 5 in the morning......
