Uncool
December 10, 2009
Dear Sir,
You are really uncool. First you tell me I won’t be able to get a shipment released without a broker and a lawyer – but turns out I just needed to show up with the right documents (which I got without your help) and we were able to secure the shipment in 2 days. Next I unfortunately need to ask for your help with something else (you can be sure I had no choice) and you brush me off saying it’s not your job, leaving me to work things out with my broker. A week later you then berate me for having done it all wrong, and then with all the righteous fanfare befitting a martyr like yourself, you swoop in and heroically take everything on yourself. You are really, really uncool. I have half a mind to write the donors and ask them to complain about how long it has taken us to secure the shipment. The lack of urgency in which all of us have acted will surely be shameful in a more public light – the containers have been sitting in the port area for 2 months now. I have my share of blame but I’d be all too happy to bow out, as long as somehow you get yours too.
