@JayReallyPlays I wish I had the right words to bring you some comfort but I can't call forth any that don't sound hollow. There is nothing I can say other than I feel your pain.
"The instructions are detailed in my last email but I would be happy to walk you through the process."
You took more time to write this email than it would have taken you to follow the instructions.
@TheDinocow @mcrKirei@PandaPonyKat Be yourself and follow the advice that your friends have already posted. Remain calm, this is a conversation on an app. Something you have a lot of experience with.
"If you're not an expert then what are you?"
I'm a generalist, in that I generally know which expert can alleviate your problem. If you are kind I can usually help you convince the expert to fix your problem, however I can also do the opposite.
Welcome to the office, how is your first week going?
"I had no idea there would be so much screaming"
Sound proofing is rather expensive, I recommend noise cancelling headphones.
"Who could have orchestrated this"
Yes who could have made sure that all the pieces fell together is such a way leading to a chain reaction causing this.

Work quote of the day:
"Who are you to tell me I need a permit"
"Listen, it's my job but let's be real, you don't look like the type that would do well in prison, nor do you look like the type to be rich enough to keep you out of it, so lets pursue this rather easy permit"
Work place speak for "I would push you into a volcano without a second thought"
It would be best that we focus on being productive within our own work spheres and consider collaboration only when it will meet a specific work objective and has a plan that supports independence.
