I think I work with some of Rona's coworkers:
RECEPTIONIST (R): (holding two Doohicky Documents in her hand that I've given her for distribution): "So are these done now?"
ME (ME): "What do you mean?"
R: "This is it, right?"
ME: "I don't know. I've given you what I've been given. The two Doohicky Documents."
R: "Then that's it. The Head Honcho told me there'd only be two."
ME: [calmly] "I don't know. I've done what I've been given. I'm not told how many items for Doohicky will be coming across my desk,"
R: "HOLD ON. NO NEED TO GET DEFENSIVE."
ME: "I'm not. I just don't know how many there are."
All while I'm thinking, "If Head Honcho told her there'd only be two, why would I have more stashed away? Fake Doohicky Documents? I'm on a need-to-know basis and I don't NEED to know how many will be coming my way. If I knew, I might need something like a fruity drink to soothe myself if I knew to expect 28 more urgent documents.
This was moments after R. picked up the Doohicky Document I had for her and she tried to make me feel guilty for not handing it to her this morning. Apparently I didn't organize my work to suit her schedule. Really? I have many people for whom I complete work. Wasn't aware I had to run my projects by R. for approval.
Who's ready for R. to enjoy her vacation next week??? *waves my arm frantically*
