Not puttin' up with crap

So some people in my office like to not tell me and other admin sorts when important things happen and then we get broadsided. We don't appreciate this and often make it known to others. Here is a pretty funny little conversation that just happened:

Other Admin: "Um, did you know so-and-so was moving out and possibly shutting off their phone lines tomorrow?"
Me: "Um, NO. Why the fuck doesn't anyone tell us these things?"
OA: "I don't have any idea. Anyway, X is on the phone if you want to talk to him about it." (X is our on-site person at this building. It's not his job to tell us this stuff, it's the property manager's job or the leasing guy.)

Me: "Hi, X. So what's going on?"
X: "Well so-and-so is moving out and my contact there is already gone but he told me he wasn't going to have the phone lines shut off but I'm not sure now."
Me: "Well it would be nice if certain other people told us these things."
X: "Well I'm sure the other people are busy."
Me: "Yeah well, aren't we all? Too bad, not an excuse."
X: "Wow! I love you girls! You don't take any crap!"

That's right, bitches. Do you hear that, certain other people?

Proofreading

Um, a crazy crazy lady in my office about whom I really need to tell a lot of stories, has left a list of the duties the woman covering for her in her absence (while on vacation) should be performing.

Among these duties, "Proof read".

Maybe she should have proofread her own note since it's one word, not two.
