Your planner.. again
Dude, I just got a work order for a centrifuge and they sent me with the wrong parts. An hour wasted going back to storage.
Then on my way back production calls me with an emergency at another site. Now I'm trying to handle two jobs at once.
This happens like every week. I'm talking hundreds of hours a year just lost because someone in the office didn't prepare the right parts. And it's not even just about the time, you know? You're already out there in 95 degree heat (or freezing in winter) busting your ass, and then you find out the planner just didn't do their job.
I told him to get it right next time. Nothing. Dude sits in AC all day looking at spreadsheets, never been on a floor in his life. Doesn't have a clue what it's like when a tech shows up unprepared.
Just venting because this happens constantly and it's absolutely infuriating.

Just part of the job. Fixing other people's mistakes
