oh, thanks, mg, that looks perfect. now. about the christmas cards.
christmas cards?
oh, sorry. the holiday cards.
cards?
ok, then, just cards! how are we coming along on the cards?
um, i don't think i heard anything about any cards.
what? is today not december twenty-first?
um, no. it's the twenty-second. but yeah. yes.
has there not been a box of pre-printed season's greeting cards sitting on your desk for the past, two, weeks?
not that i know of?
i told alana myself to put them there! i saw them! they're right next to the poinsetta! in a box!
oh. that's not my desk. that's suzanne's. she's on maternity leave.
look, what i need from you right now is not a string of excuses. what i need is for those cards to be stamped with our logo and for labels to be printed and for those cards to be sent out today!
hm. ok. well, since it's almost four, if you have the address database, i can probably do a mail merge to set up the labels pretty quickly. i could get started on that if someone else could stamp them?
ok. first, here's a print out of the addresses. lord knows where the original file is. i think the temp who was here last winter made it, so i'm sure they wiped it off his computer when he left. and second, i feel like i'm seeing sort of a pattern here of you trying to find a way to not do what it is that i ask you to do. here's the rubber winkyshock stamp, here's the hard copy of the addresses that need labels printed, and frankly, i don't think we have that much time to sit here talking about it.
but--
it's the kind of personal touch christmas cards represent that is essential for nurturing client relations. although i suppose that's not a concern for someone at your employee level. oh. and thanks for the coffee. a smidge less creamer next time, okay?
