I either (A) Tell him I don't know how to do it, or (B) Tell him I am too busy to get to it before I have to go home. <br />He generally either takes care of it himself or gets someone else upstairs to handle it. <br />I've seen too many people try to take advantage of others because they just think they can and that really irks me. <br />I love my job and I do my best to do it well The way I see it others should do the same.Something Happened Somewhere Turninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897631770669843340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-28988359855511584962010-02-01T18:55:16.035-08:002010-02-01T18:55:16.035-08:00Well done!

They are hired for various talents - writing, design, photography, etc. But one of the most important things we teach them is how to do the practical office things for themselves...faxing, copying, mailing, answering phones, etc. (Everyone does their own typing.) That intern learned from you, and he appreciated it--good for both of you.Nancy/BLissed-Out Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17223278142557533175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-37761587964242167492010-02-01T15:17:42.340-08:002010-02-01T15:17:42.340-08:00An old boss told me this:
