Conversation at work

'Hester, Mr Smith wants to know why his copier bill has tripled in the last 3 months?'

'Because he is now paying the copier bill for the garden project'

'Can you give me the request slips?'

'Here they are'

'Aargh, only 3 people are allowed to copy against this project & you have slips from 15 people at least'

'And you tell me now, 3 months after the project started? Well done!'

I am so familiar with this type of conversation - sadly, not just in education! Is is just me or do people seem unable to advise anyone of anything in advance?? (Oh, well I am on the soap box - it is just men that run out of something - toilet rolls, coffee, milk etc at work - before they bother to tell me?
