So yesterday, not 5 minutes after I posted, I caught FFG doing something dumb. Our accountant was working from home, and had sent the weekly financial report to his printer so that FFG could print it and distribute it to the appropriate people.
Now the projects in the report are sorted by project manager. My boss, one of the principals, and I all get a copy of the whole thing, and the project managers just get their pages, or info for just their projects. FFG obviously did not look at what she was copying when she copied the entire report for the 3 of us who get it – our accountant had also printed some faxes he’d received (we get faxes sent to Outlook) and she included those in the report copy. I caught her right before she distributed a fax from Yellow Cab Co to one of the big wigs around here. Duh.
Something else stupid – I was looking for 11x17 binders earlier today. I called Staples and asked if they carried “11x17 binders with a 1 inch ring”. The girl put me on hold for literally 5 minutes before she came back to tell me that yes, she had legal size. *Viki smacks her head on the desk* How can you work at an office supply store and not know that legal size is 8 ½ by 14, and not 11x17? I had to explain that to her.
Thank goodness it's Friday!

Now this is funny. It is like Trey not knowing what wine goes with Sonic Cheesburgers, or me not knowing how to evaluate the cost performance of derivative hedge over heat oil futures.
Come on everyone knows that, right?

;) P.S. Just so you know. I thought wait, legal? during the story. Take some asprin, I got it!

I feel your pain. And I knew the difference between the two papers. I think someone does carry a binder in that size, because we have a girl who uses that size paper because she's legally blind and we englarge everything.
Loved the tea story, and I must say, that I don't think we chalk all of FFG's mistakes up to being an airhead. I think she's just lazy too.
WOW! You must have a "hey stupid" sign that matches my "hey crazy" one!
LOL! to Sarah's comment and to J&H's. What a chuckle at 6:30 in the morning Glad to hear FFG is still entertaining us!
For Sonic Cheeseburgers, I recommend a syrah, unless you're having the jalepeno cheeseburger, then I'd go with a sauvignon blanc to cut through the heat.
Try www.11x17.com they only carry 11x17 Size stuff.
