I eould highly, highly advise that you don't get obstinate with employees not under you, especially since they're not in your company. If they're delaying your work, report it to HR so it doesn't reflect badly on your review. Being that angry douche from x company makes your employers look bad.
I'm dealing with a appeal case regarding a customer of ours who claims they did not receive an item, where we have plenty of proof that he has. The company we use to list the item has sided in favour of the customer despite overwhelming evidence that it's fraud, and so the money has been taken from our account. All I can do is fight it up the chain until they either reverse the decision, or they flat out refuse to help. Not so much delaying my work, but that they've made a decision that is quite clearly wrong, and taken the money for it.

And all I'm saying is keep a level head while doing so. This is a business matter, not a personal affront. In short, whoah there, Tiger.

Yeah, no worries, I've gone through this same dance before. I never lose my temper, but I have to appear unhappy with the decision just enough that it gets escalated. That's why I find it emotionally draining. I much prefer it when things just go smoothly. I admit that I do take losses personally, though, so I like to win.

I'm Welsh and I have tons of street cred....um, yo!
By street cred, I mean short for credit, which I get by volunteering one weekend a month to keep my street free of garbage on the sides of the road.
What's rap?

At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

I will. Unless it goes away. Still, not a bad day. I got told I'd already passed the coursework section of my English GCSE with a C+, despite having 3 more pieces to complete.

The thing is, I'm sometimes not sure to which group I belong. Maybe I've ironically become obsessive-compulsive about whether I really have OCD? Heh, that would be kind of ridiculous, wouldn't it.
