What do you think of this email chain? (4 total)
FYI- There will be 4 total...
Email 1
I have six 4-drawer cabinets that need to be put in someone?s office in the OHR area or given to some other units who have an interest to clean up the fixed asset accumulation.
I have already asked some of you, but if you are interested in one of the cabinets please let me know under separate cover (how many?) so the AO can facilitate the removal from the ?accumulation room? to your office, expeditiously. You will need to make sure you have room in your office for the cabinet. The room is in the medical services area across from the color copier if you want to take a ?look and see?. Thank you.
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

Email 2
So to take the cabinets means that you are also assuming fixed assets? Sorry ? I?m a confused.
Email 3 (from Original Sender)
No, it?s not confusing ? the subject matter in this email is regarding ?extra cabinets? on this floor that we need to move out of a room and put in someone?s office, any office who needs an ?extra cabinet?. The ?accumulation room? is an metaphorical ?idea? that has existed before my tenure when persons wanted to dump extra furniture, etc. I?m tasked with getting all of the fixed assets:
1. In the appropriate offices
2. If broken, out of the building
Email 4
GOT it!!!
I think people are assuming that other people know WTH "fixed assets" are - and they don't.
the original sender is being silly using the accounting terminology for things.
Not that you needed the 4th email really but initial email went out to all of us in HR, including the department heads. The email exchange is between the Admin Assitant to our Director and the Head of Labor Relations who is far from stupid. I can't believe that the AA basically back slapped her and called her dumb for not understanding the initial email. BALLS!!!
The AA is kinda new on our floor and she has this "high and mighty" attitude like she is better than everyone else here. She was given her cube on Day 1 (the rest of us have offices) and she pitched a fit about her cube having open 1/2 walls and had building maintenance come and build her cubicle up 2 days later so that she has the high walls on all four sides. Um, why? This isn't the first email she's sent out correcting people and telling them that she is right and they're wrong for not understanding. She's a lunatic.
And maybe you need to know the 2 involved to get the interaction (the the utter awe I am experiencing right now) but at the very least, it's an afternoon entertainment post!

also - who tells someone - especially a director, that their email WASN'T CONFUSING?
that's just so unprofessional.
Yup! When I read email 3 my jaw dropped and I said, "Holy crap" very loudly at my desk that my other coworker came in to see if everything was alright. I will say this AA has been very entertaining since she's been here. Makes the day go by when we get emails from her!
there's a reason some people stay AA's their whole lives.
Totally off topic- but I think corporate America needs people who will be AAs their whole lives- slightly depressing, but true, just like we need people to work @ McDonalds, in factories, etc. I worked as an AA/Executive asst. for 2 yr before I moved to NYC and the AA "lifers" never would have sent out an e-mail like that (especially the 2nd one) those e-mails are obviously written by someone who thinks that they are way above the job they are doing, and wants to show everyone that fact.
yeah - there are excellent long-term career AAs/EAs, but those people are getting fewer and farther between. There are lifer secys here at my firm, but they could never leave here now, b/c the demands of the job have changed so much and they haven't kept up despite training opportunities.
