I thought a good reaming usually opened things up. :dunno:

You know, one thing that might work is to pay your client a visit early in the morning, and slip in a little plug for your work later on. If the ******* is prepared for what you plan to do, you should just be able to slip in almost unnoticed and get it done without further trouble.

It's worked for me. :dunno:

 
Dude, the economy is tight.

I wouldn't be pissing off any potential clients, even if they are ********. Maybe you should let one of your co-workers talk with this ******* and see if they can get their foot in the backdoor. Nah, that might hurt.

You might be a ****, but clients are fickle and you have to make sure you're doing everything to keep them happy. This might include going back and saying you're sorry even if you don't mean it. If you think you're up for it and want to try again instead of sending a coworker, then let them cool off some and approach the situation from their perspective. That *** might feel violated and you need to make reparations if you think you'll ever get to go through the front door even.

 
Thanks for all the advice. I may try to implement some of it.

But just to let you know: things went a little smoother today. I still wasn't able to gain entry to the rear of the facility, but I am still welcome in the front office. The big blowout the other day seems to have been forgotten. Or at least, I could see no trace of it. I still have no choice but to deal with that *******, though. I can no longer ignore it.

I called my Mom last night to ask her advice. She said "PE-ness, you are what you are and there's no use in denying it. What you need to make that ******* understand is that it's your job to be a ****. Your job is hard - and is certainly something that ******* couldn't do without you. Sure, 99% of the time you're just a big softie, and that ******* knows it, but when it comes to doing your job, there's no way around being pushy about it. That ******* just needs to loosen up and accept it. Stand tall and proud, son! Don't let that ******* get in your way!"

 
csb's response made me laugh out loud!

ironically....I find this amazing! Who ever thought THIS would be the way ENGINEERS found creativity?

Why have I become the butt of the joke? And I don't remember ever saying that.

Sage motherly advice if ever I read it.

Sounds like it was a deeply religious experience.
