Not so common

Sense. It's not as common as one would hope.

The tale is told of a staff member who needs to have so many seemingly obvious things explained to him/her that her/his office mates are tearing their hair out.

Then there are the staff members who think nothing of bringing their own work to someone else's secretary for typing.

Then, of course, there was the glorious occasion on which I got Friday (a half-day for us) off for working until 9:19 PM on a Thursday night because someone from another office had a so-called secretary who wasn't capable of doing the job.

Oy.

Okay, end of rant.
