So I get this email from my boss's executive assistant who seems to think she is the Office Manager. In it, she says that we need to start emailing everyone when we "go to lunch, leave our offices or leave the premises" so that phone calls can be better directed. In my mind--WHATEVER CONTROL FREAK. Should I also send an email saying "I really need to take care of some serious personal hygiene--be back after I finish my newspaper"? I mean really! WHATEVER! We are professionals. We have a fricking board we can sign in and out on--chill already. If I go to Safeway for 15 minutes to pick up a salad for lunch--deal with it! I told you where I was going.

After this notification, I start receiving emails from all sorts of folks around the office--people I don't even work with...as in EVER! "I'm away from my desk meeting with Doug." Then, twenty minutes later, "I'm back from my meeting with Doug." Like SPAM isn't a big enough problem without having to get emails from random coworkers that you exist in office space with about the minutia of where they are at any given moment during the day!

One of my co-workers, Saffron (see earlier post), starts bitching to me about it and I say "Send her an email bitching about it-I did. Maybe if enough of us complain about it, something will get done."

So Saffron sends an email, blind copying me on it, saying "As I don't work with Carol or Jennifer I don't need to know where they are at any given time."

Jennifer I think? Who the Hell is Jennifer?! We don't have a Jennifer. So I point this out to Saffron, who immediately is all "DAMN! Why do I always call her that?!"

To which I responded "If you don't even know her fricking name, you definitely don't need to know where the Hell she is!"

The point exactly!
