Foolish Request of the Day - Happy Lamps

Sent in from Paige --

From an employee who was only three days into her new position

Submitted Request: “Hello – I’d like to come check out what photos you have lying around so I can hang one or two on my bare office walls. Secondly – What is the status on my new cabinet? Lastly – do you have happier looking lamps?

Secretary’s Solution: Indicated that employee would need manager approval for all items not already supplied by the building management.

Her Boss’ Response: “Bring your own pictures; bring your own lamps; the cabinet provided is sufficient for your needs.”

Gotta love no-nonsense managers.
