Sad Commentary on the World in Which We Live Dept.
In the interest of saving money, at work there exists an aversion to ordering new materials. But when the present items are falling apart…
interoffice email (not from me, from a really cool co-worker)
Dear >insert office supply guru name<,
Our favorite team member KT has requested 5 NEW blue file folders for her >specific type of< files. I looked in the supply closet for new ones and could only find used ones. While I was in there, >random co-worker< sent something to print and, then, gave me a hard time because the door was open. He is so mean. He then got his stuff off of the printer and turned the lights off, WHILE I WAS IN THERE!!! Now I am afraid to go in the supply room on my own.
I think KT really wants NEW file folders and has promised me that if she gets them, she will only staple stuff to them with the pointy side in. She also said how nice you are...just so you know...and I think she really meant it.
So, can we get her some new file folders?
>insert name of really cool co-worker<
ed. notes -
1. Please! At least five folders! And we are begging here!
2. People like to staple stuff to the inside front cover of the files with the pointy ends OUT. Can we say, regular stabbings of and swearings by the Noble Night Crew? Come on, people!
3. Random co-worker dude was kidding about the light, but I think he has control issues in general.
later:
I’m listening to the individuals involved right now. (close by cube) The one desiring the NEW folders is begging her case for them to the office supply guru. This has been going on for 10 minutes. KT is presenting many old folders for evidence of the need for new ones.
O_o
tiny bit later:
OH! Success! The office supply person is ordering new folders! But she didn’t appear amused by the email. (I just saw a copy, it wasn’t to anyone but her.) Hrmph. To be fair, she’s probably constrained by company policy. So, hrmph at company policy, too.
