Not ONLY Office Etiquette but a Life Lesson as well...
So here's the story. This lady leaves me with the most vague instructions on how to produce inserts for an ongoing quarterly binder - inserts that go to all the executives on the exclusive 4th floor, as well as Mr. Dave O'Reilly, CEO, himself.
So anyway, I go to this guy Everette who handles another meeting that I have made binders for ONCE when I first started. I asked him how to deliver these pages (interoffice mail, hand deliver) and is the cover ok???
He points to the cover and says "This is for the BPR Meeting." I said "Yeah" kinda dumbfounded and continued my questioning. After rambling out all my questions he says "But this is the BPR Meeting."
I said "OH, do you only do the SPC Meetings? I was wondering why you were pointing the to the name of the meeting cause I can read... ha ha ha ho ho ho." Laugh laugh
What I wanted to say was "Hey, Code McCoderson, throw me a bone here. I'm still fairly new so when I walk up to you with this particular binder why don't you just say, 'I'm sorry I do not handle that meeting, maybe go ask blah blah.' "
Seriously people. I'm not a mind reader. It's one of those things that makes me feel stupid and I do not like feeling stupid!
Poo on him!
