Extraneous Questions from Work

I thought I would share an e-mail I got from work. This is more a cathartic act to deal with my job than actually news to my readers, but I hope you'll find it amusing.

I sent my boss an Excel spreadsheet with various data. I made sure to label each of the column carefully. As you can see, the circled columns clearly show they are labeled "December 2002". I then get an e-mail from by boss asking if the data was from December 2002 or June 2003. This is the kind of extraneous e-mails I answer all day. It's not that it's hard to send an e-mail reply, but I just seems so useless to answer a question that should be perfectly obvious. *Sigh*

Thanks for letting me share my frustrations with you.
