Yeah, the high has dissipated, the buzz has died, and here we are, smack dab in the middle of snark central!
It seems the higher up we go in any company, the less we are capable of doing for ourselves! Chronically amusing unless your the person(s) these ridiculous requests are falling upon.
The following list is based on things heard and observed over the past few days, wonder if any will be familiar to you!
I hope I never:
walk past the copier twice to ask someone to make a copy for me...STAT
ask someone to go pick up my or my family's rx and refills, some things should be a surprise
ask someone to go to my home and pick up items for return that cost more than their annual salary.
get to the point where a slice of pizza is no good without stinky designer cheeses, truffle oil and some bubbly to wash it all down with.
ask someone to pick up a gallon of paint near work and bring it to my home 40 miles away, rather than go to home depot or Lowe's myself, one mile away from the house.
Anyway, you get my point! I clearly understand when time is better spent elsewhere doing very important things and keeping a business going, but sometimes ridiculous is just ridiculous, no matter the source!
And we're off...
