A Day at Work

Friday morning, I sent the following email to my committee at work:
All -
If you are receiving this email, it is because you have not yet scheduled a meeting time for next week. The following times are NO LONGER AVAILABLE. Please let me know by the end of today when you would like to meet.
Mon: 1-2
Tues: 9-10. 1-2, 2-3
Wed: 10-11
Thurs: 10-11, 1-2
I receive the following response:
I'll be there at 9 on Tuesday.
I respond anew:
The times on that list are already taken. Please choose a time that is NOT on the list.
Her new response?
Okay, how about 2pm Tuesday?
And you all want to know why I go home most nights with a headache?

    I get the impression that it's too easy to send a quick text or email so no-one ever reads anything properly anymore. How frustrating :-O

    Okay, I shouldn't be laughing... but the stupidity of others never ceases to amaze me.

    Give that person the time slot, but send them to a different room entirely... LOL

    There's just no cure for stupid. You either got it or you ain't. Don't. Something.

    Very funny, anyway. I would have been laughing out loud.

    I have run into the same problem at work, a chart with open slots seems to be better for the reading impaired, it's more visual. Ha! Good luck with your meetings!

    I wanted to poke my eyes out reading this. But, given the way my brain has been failing me lately, I can see ME as being that woman! Eeek!
