On initial examination it looked like all I needed to do was act as a post man. I took the requirements* from the Sales Guy and passed them across to a team of specialists who would provide the necessary quotes. All I would then have to do is pass the quotes back to the sales team.
What could possibly go wrong?
I even had a precautionary call with the Sales Guy to ensure that there were no hidden issues or problems that were likely to leap out and bite me. "No, no" he reassured me "it really is that simple".
These words are still ringing in my ears.
Today I discovered that the requirements I was given are flaky at best and the Sales Guy has responded with a long winded "don't ask me" when I asked for clarifications.
The don't ask me email came in late in the day and it looks like I am going to have to use my native wit and cunning to drive this forward. Unfortunately I was running low on "wit and cunning" by four o'clock, so I took Whiffler and #3 for a walk instead.
Hopefully my "W 'n C" reserves will be restored overnight.
