lesson one - work when other people are working

it seems to me that i'm entirely incapable of finding the right time to question other people about the data requirements for the reports i'm working on.  one of the guys is on holiday all weeek, one guy seems to be perpetually on break and t'other guy seems to only be at his desk when i'm working on something else.

 

and the really crappy thing is that the answers to the questions i ask (when i do get answers) seem to be for totally irrelevant questions.

 

pure awesome.  at least the dude that needs these reports is on holiday this week - thereby extending my deadlines by another three days.
