(Discussion with a coworker yesterday)
ME: So did you ever finish off identifying what items were missing from those drawings? I seem to recall you did the analog drawings but we hadn't done the digital ones yet.
COWORKER: Yep, they're all done. I've gone through them all and we've reviewed those drawings.
ME: Are you sure? I don't recall reviewing the full resulting list with you.
COWORKER: Yes, remember, we went through the items I had in my notes drawing by drawing last week.
ME: Yes, I remember that. So that's given you the full list of things that are missing?
COWORKER: Yep.

(Today)
ME (in email): Please send me that list of everything that is missing from the drawings so I can make sure to mark them up for the drafters to add back on.
COWORKER (on phone): I'm not sure what list you're talking about – we had the notes from the drawings I went through with you, and that's it.
ME: So you don't have the full list of items that are missing? Remember last week when we had you making an excel spreadsheet listing all the items that had a blank where the drawing location was to be? You told me yesterday you had the full list done.
COWORKER: Oh. Yeah, I got tasked to do some other stuff, so I don't know where that's at. I think we got the analog drawings done but not the digitals. Let me check.
Frustrating.
Good thing I'm taking off tomorrow and going away for the weekend with my wife. And my mother-in-law is watching Violet, so it's a kid-free weekend. Yay!

The next discussion needs to be
Him: I didn't get my paycheck
You: I sent it out
Him: are you sure?
You: yes!
Two weeks later:
Him: I still don't have my check.
You: I was tasked on other things

Ohhh, if only I could….Seriously though, he's really not a bad guy…and he's still new, so I give him the benefit of the doubt…after all I remember the mistakes I made when I was new and wouldn't have wanted anyone to hold them against me…
