I can't help you. I'm in bed.

Setting the scene:
We had a key deliverable to a client who is not particularly happy with us at the moment. My production team has been working all day to get a server set-up and an application loaded for a client review that had been booked in for 7:30AM the next day by the suit.
A booking made without consulting production as to whether or not it was actually feasible.
It's 7:30PM and I've come back to work after the gym to work with the team, and on my way in I see the suit in question leaving the building... all dressed up for a night on the turps.


How it went down:
Suit: "OMG, I'm running soooo late" giggles "I'm always late hehehehe"
PG: "Oh OK, how're things going on project X?"
Suit: "It's all good. Tech Director is working on it"
She runs into the cab
Suit: "Should be fine... Good Luck!!"
Later that evening at about 8:30PM. I've sent my Tech Director home so he can at least see his wife and kids and continue working from home. I've stayed in to catch up on paper work.
He calls me at 9:30PM to tell that the server is rooted and that he doesn't have the access required to fix it. I advise him to find a work-a-round and I try to call the suit suit and I eventually get her via text... This is the actual conversation taken from my iPhone SMS log.
PG: "Hey Suit. Can you give me a call ASAP?"
Suit: "PG, I'm exhausted. Half asleep. Chat tomorrow morning. Go home :-)"
PG: "I need to know which client did you tell they'd have the code by 730?"
Suit: "XXX app. Vack to sleep now. Later"
We worked until after midnight and had 2 possible work-a-rounds for 7:30.
The best part?
Client didn't check emails... wasn't interested in or aware of 7:30 deadline.
Suit rolls in after 9AM.
I asked a junior member of my team to talk to the suit and ask her about what she did last night.
As suspected she was off her tits in a bar.


What have we learned?
They Lie!
