It doesn't matter that it's bigger if it's floppy.

Ok. Mini floppies[^], then.

I cannot believe how many companies and people not only don't have Phone Numbers and Contact Details in Active Directory but don't think a Signature in email is important for like letting us know where in the company hierachy you live and a contact number.
Got a job to do after hours, wait till 19:30 when of course everyone will have left the office and jump on to perform maintenance. Can't get on cause it says it is still logged on, nothing new here, so I reboot and start work only to get an email from a colleague who got the email to say WTF. So I stopped maintenance and loggged off but can't contact the bloke to let him know as office phone on after hours and no other form of contact.
This was an hour after another customer had organised for me to fix her stuff at 15:00, couldn't get hold of her so I left it and came home early as I had other stuff going on until midnight. So at 18:30 I jump on to find her work still open and I could see it was pretty official. Disconnected and tried the office phone as no mobile anywhere. Luckily she answered and put off the work until tomorrow.

Any reason "REPLY" wasn't an option, here?

I did reply to the end user, but no response to say he acknowledged or when he would get off. Had to wait the time I was given as a guesstimate and now get to start much closer to wake up time. Kicked off at 22:00, got another job meant to start at 22:30 and up at 04:00. Yay!

Well, they sent you an email and expected you to be aware of it. So, you did the same. Obviously they were there to annoy you the first time. The ball's in their court, so-to-speak.
4:00 - even I don't start that early.

You are in big trouble if the actual count is (11)

It's 12, I checked a couple of times (including just now to be sure!)

Took a lot of thought this one, and I am not entirely sure how the clue fits exactly, but it's too close not to have a stab at it...
Cantankerous = difficult
a large ship = tanker
round = o
America = us
And I assume the can is to do with "is able to" part.
Possible you meant "is a large ship able to" = "can tanker"?

It was a good clue, took a while to work it out.
I especially liked the misleading use of "round" where my instinct was to try and find a word that contains "us" or "states"... I even got as desperate as a word that contains "A"!

I was kinda hoping that "Difficult:" would be taken as a warning rather than part of the clue ...

Well you were right as I did consider asking, but then I figured you wouldn't make the mistake of making it look like part of the clue... you have done far too many of these to do that!

The job of the setter is to misdirect, confuse, and befuddle the solver! Punctuation is part of that (and should normally be ignored - but not always, as that can be part of the misdirection...)
