Communication Please!
Ever have one of those projects that is just wrought with people not communicating? I am an independent trade contractor who is sole runner of my business (I like to tell people I'm a C.E.O.). Anyhoo, I've been working on this job for the past two months. I should have known from the start it was going to be a nightmare. My primary task was to hang cabinets, build some doors and appliance panels, and install pantry shelving. Thus far I have hung drywall, built said pantry shelving, built a vanity cabinet, and have an entertainment center to build...all added work. Which is great, because I get paid to do what I love(play with wood). The thing that is really starting to piss me off is the lack of communication between the designer(who is running the show) and all the tradespeople. I can't hang crown because the painter is not finished, I can't install drawer pulls on cabinets because the designer hasn't specified the location, not to mention half the hardware isn't even there. Luckily, I'm busy building the door and appliance panels. I don't see this project getting finished before Christmas, or the new year for that matter.
So what about everyone else? Is lack of communication in the workplace a common problem, and does it make you wanna go postal?
On another note, I miss my Pud. Nuff said.

I think I'll go bust out some 80s RATT music.
It's a problem everywhere. People are imbicles.
Too many problems, the world can't solve
Too many people, no-one wants to be involved
(Lack of communication, back off)
Keep rearranging, it's all the same
Always saying, someone else is to blame
(Lack of communication, back off)
Look all around me, who's standin' tall
Hold tight, no-one's gonna answer your call
(Lack of communication, back off)
Put up our boundaries, we build our walls
It's alright, no-one's gonna change us at all
(Lack of communication, back off)
Time's passin' us by, we have our reason
No-one wants to try, we have our reason
Questions askin' why, we have our reason
Problems still arise, we have our reason... for
Back off !
You're so together, you fall apart
You never miss, when you're shootin' straight for the heart
(Lack of communication, back off)
You see it your way, I'll see it mine
Well, conversation is a useless change of line
(Lack of communication, back off)
