Contrary to the saying, there are lots of stupid questions

'You booked a meeting room for me last week. Can you tell me which one it is?'

'I thought I sent you a meeting invitation when I booked it...'

'Yes, but I didn't look at it. So which room is it please?'

Is it any wonder that I'm an angry? Visiting staff members from other offices are a persistent thorn in my delicate side. Massive egos and convenient helplessness are standard.

Need a CD? Walk past the stationery cupboard and ask at reception!

Having trouble connecting to the network? Why not call reception and ask them to send someone to help you!

Didn't print your documents for your presentation because you didn't want to carry them on the train? Just sidle up to the reception desk and open with something like:

'Do you think you might be able to do me a small favour?'

You will be met with a suspicious look. When you produce a USB stick with your presentation on it don't expect the receptionist to do cartwheels at the prospect of doing your printing and collating for you. If you suggest that you could also find a way to email the documents to me this will not turn my frown upside down.

Remind me to send your PA a big thank you for dumping her work onto me while takes she takes a half day while you terrorize my office!

Oh my gawd, will you just sign out and go home already?
