Fecal matter, meet fan

So there is a webinar set up for today, 1PM EST, where I work, and as IT, part of my duties is to set up said webinar. Attendees are to include the two biggest hoo-has in the place.

PROBLEM: No one supplied me with any information about the webinar, other than the time. (NOTE: I was not charged with registration, just setting up projector, laptop, speakers, and getting the whole thing started.)

Okay, so I start sleuthing, and figure out the website and the webinar they wish to attend. Going to that website, I find they require a registration number. Now, both big wigs are in a meeting right up to the time of the webinar, and no one else involved seems to have the registration information. I have called the webinar folks, and they have no registration listed for my workplace, or anyone I can think to give the name of. And the webinar has been filled since last week.

I smell doom. Or burnt popcorn.

Lovely. Its the typical setting you up for failure thing bosses do.

They give a very important assignment that absolutely must be done by a certain time, they don't give you the ability to do it, and then they vanish until the due date, leaving you trapped, helpless, and unable to escape blame.

Best of luck.

Quick Update:

webinar cancelled due to lack of planning. It seems no one registered for the event, or really even noticed that you needed to register. I took the high road and didn't mention that I realized you had to register for it after five minutes on the site.

Oh well, at least it's not my fault. I just lug the equipment around for these. I think there was a localized thunderstorn in the Executive offices, though.

Lack of planning - sounds great. You must work for my company.
