So, I'm sitting here with my bright red "Fordham" Nalgene filled with ice water and this chick named Angela comes over to pick up a package. In the process of me handing her the CONFIDENTIAL package, the Nalgene tumbles and water starts pouring out all over my desk - the mouse, the keyboard, all of my "office supplies", post-its on the wall with important people's extensions - and she says "oh, sorry." Then she proceeds to talk about who I should call to pick up the other CONFIDENTIAL packages that have been dropped off. Umm, excuse me Angela, but there is water all over my desk and you wanna help me out by telling me who to call for a package pick-up? How about getting me some fucking paper towels or assisting me in trying to get the important stuff off my desk before it gets drenched by the water that seems to increase in volume once it hits the surface? No, Angela. Don't bother. You're too important for that. I know that administrative assistants like yourself just can't possibly be expected to help someone clean up water you participated in spilling.
It's a damn good thing I'm experienced in handling areas experiencing water damage.
