This is hysterical. I think my boss might have these dice.

I remember showing one senior coworker my todo list, and asking him which to move. Then we have, in 1990, there for 4 months as work experience, “You’re in the computer generation, so you get to maintain the department PC.” It looked like every student who did it had different ideas and no clue what they were doing.

Ouch, I’m sorry to hear that. Personally, I used to get “hidden treasure” all the time.

June: Did you photocopy my report for me yet?
{note that she’d walked past a photocopier to ask me for this.}
Me: No, I’ve been working on proofing the magazine before it goes to the printer at 3pm. Pat said that was top priority.
June: BUT YOU NEED TO COPY IT!
Me: When you handed it to me, you said it needed to be copied by the 14th. See, I wrote it down when you handed it over to me.
June: I need it NOW! Stop proofing the magazine and do it now!
**sigh**

Sharron should see this. This is a routine conversation for her:

User: Can you get this report for a press conference on the 4th?
Sharron: Next week? No problem.
User: Fabulous. The data you’ll be pulling from will be available on the 5th.
