D walks into the office, I stop her to give her a document and instructions on what to do with the document.
Me: D, here is the document, please give it to Mr A and ask him to fill out what he can.
D: OK, should I make a copy of it.
Me: Why?
D: So we have a copy for us.
Me: But I have it on my computer, thats where I printed it from…
D: Oh, so I shouldn’t copy it?
K (handing me a paper with the words COPY emblazoned on the front): Did B give you the original of this?
Me: Well, K, that says COPY on it so its a copy for you.
K: So, must I give this to you still?
R: Should I make a copy before or after I send it?
B: It doesnt make a difference.
R: But once I send it where does it go? Does it come back?
B: Once you send it, just look in your sent items.
B: Then you can make a copy of it…
I’m not sure whats more troubling, the fact that R doesn’t realise things go to the sent items folder or the fact that B told her to make a copy of the email instead of just not deleting it…
