This morning our faithfull narrator recieved a memo addressed to a ____ and Diane ____. He was told by Big Momma that said memo was to be re-sent to Diane, and that when it was first sent it was never correctly base copied to those noted on the control sheet of this important memo. Being the top-notch employee and detail-orientated person that this humble observer is, he quickly completed the necessary assignment, emailing the memo to the Diane noted in the "To:" portion of the document.
A few hours later, one of those who recieved the base copy asks if this memo was actually sent to Diane, and immediately the office began to react. Efforts to recall the memo were thwarted by Outlook and desperate communications were made to reach Diane or her assistant and stop the reading of this memo (which, this plucky young lad would like to re-iterate, was ADDRESSED TO HER). Our narrator investigated into the confusion and discovers that the memo was supposed to be re-sent to DianA, someone within the office, despite the fact that neither on the control sheet nor correspondence tracking spreadsheet records DianA as a recipient of this highly important memo.
Shortly thereafter, the staffing agency that puts food on our narrators table calls and informs him that while earlier this morning he was desperately pursued as a possible employee and even instructed on more important matters due to his excellant track record, come this afternoon his capablity has been highly questioned and he is not to return to the non-profit the following week.
In tears at this point, this plucky young lad informed the agency of the specifics of the situation, desperately pleading for another chance to work, while not for the same non-profite, whom he feels, can go fuck themselves. In return for his complete disregard for his own self esteem, he is placed, on a probationary setting, in another local company doing basic administrative work next week. He strives to regain his status as a model employee and even considers working overtime without monetary compensation.
Finalizing this tragic story, after an email is sent to the Diane who was never supposed to see the memo addressed to her informing her that the message is being recalled, she responded with (paraphrase) "It did seem odd to recieve this mail. However it was nice to hear from you." Obviously this humble observers grievous error clearly warranted termination from the organization.
What ridiculousness will next bestow itself upon our faithful narrator? Will this plucky young lad ever regain his status after such insolence? How many meaningless documents will he stamp and label next week??? Theres only one way to find out......
