I’m getting that crap with my father, but he’s got an excuse. Why don’t you ask Locater Database Guy if he’s been tested for Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus lately? It sure looks like the symptoms I’m familiar with.
I feel your pain, but methinks you were just being too “subtle” for poor literal-minded Database Location Guy. What if you tried:
“I attempted to locate the Feynman Conference Room, which is a conference room in Building 18, in the conference room locater, but it didn’t show up. There must be a glitch in the conference room locater. Can you fix it, please?”
Of course, he’ll probably just reply by saying, “Why were you looking it up if you know where it is?”
Where I worked the conference rooms were named after barbeque restaurants. Rendezvous and Interstate were a bit confusing if you weren’t in the know but the latest one was Three Little Pigs.
Five years ago, when I went to work for D-Link Systems in Irvine, the conference rooms in the building were named after Southern California ski resorts (Arrowhead, Mammoth, Big Bear). When the company moved headquarters to Fountain Valley about six months later, the conference rooms in the new building had THE EXACT SAME NAMES!
Yesterday, someone called me to come fix the copier. (I ordered it, so I know all about servicing it, right?) I went over and found that the finisher component was separated from the rest of the machine by about a foot. I pushed it back together and ta da! Fixed!
About two minutes later, the same person came after me again. “The copier won’t work!” I go look at it and the display screen says it is out of paper. :smack:
Someone else sent me an email because I can forward it on to the whole group. The email says she needs everyone’s schedule. I change the title of the email to make it clear that she needs everyone’s schedule. Naturally, everyone has sent their schedule to me.
