gerry sucks

This little shit in accounting refuses to return my calls or emails. Yes I realize he is busy but I am getting repeatedly bothered with "were they able to change those hours?" and "Have you talked to accounting about fixing my time?" He is in my ear every five fucking seconds because this guy doesn't want to get off his ass. Gerry has had it in for me from day one. I am not really sure why. I must have done something. He gets right back to everyone else but not me. Nope two weeks later I am still leaving him voicemails. Sure I'll admit it I was a little perplexed by the accounting system at first and made some mistakes, but who didn't. Yeah I have asked to get time changed before. But only twice in the span of over a year. This time it isn't even my fault so what the fuck Gerry? Give me a break.

It is not like I am asking him to do anything except his job. Yes this may sound ironic coming from someone who complains so much about doing her "job" but there are a few key differences. Besides the obvious difference in our paychecks and the fact that Gerry is in the field he desires to be in, Gerry is the only person in this god damn office who knows how to work this god forsaking piece of shit accounting software. Let's just say I am not exactly irreplaceable. There are about 500 people in the office who can make copies and I am sure some of the attorney's are in fact capable of answering their own phone and ordering their own lunch. So what I do here isn't all that important.

All I need to do is transfer one client charge to another client charge because Jake gave me the wrong number. It doesn't really need to get done anytime soon. So he says. Then why doesn't he stop asking if it is done? I called the "help" desk to get help but they don't know what they are doing. The only thing they can say when it comes to our wonderful accounting software is "...your gonna have to give Gerry a call on that one...he'll take care of it." "but I did call Gerry twice, and I emailed him too, and he wont get back to me!!!" "Yeah...uhh...you have to call Gerry he can change it." Great. So I have to wait. What if Gerry never calls me back. That is a definite possibility.

How do we buy a program that the entire company uses but only one person can fix? One person. It doesn't make any sense to me. And even if by some miracle I was able to figure out how to make the changes I need to make I don't have "access". So if you are going to make yourself indispensable to a company than you sort of owe it to people to do your fucking job.

I can't tell if he gets off on being the only one in the company who can fix these problems or if he just doesn't realize how incredibly inconvenient it is for everyone else who needs to get shit done. Either way Gerry Sucks. Last time I had a problem I specifically asked if he could tell me how to fix it. He didn't really have the time and simply told me to call the "help" desk. Because this was something I "need to know." (As I stated earlier the "help" desk doesn't know shit and are completely useless when it comes to the accounting software.) "Well Ger, if I 'need to know' it and you are the only one who can tell me how to do it, then why don't you stop playing around and tell me already?"

Regardless of all that Gerry still sucks and he at the very least could simply reply to one of the many emails I have sent and write back that he wasn't going to help me. That is all I need. I don't care if it actually gets done. He could just say, nope sorry not gonna do it and that would be alright with me. Then I could tell my boss that the changes can't be made and there is nothing I can do about it. Which honestly is my favorite response. Because if there is nothing I can do about it then, well, there is nothing to do.
