So, for the last half hour or so, four fucking people have come by my desk to ask me questions that could easily have been handled by email. We are supposed to have a receptionist who keeps folks away, but she disappeared (I'll rant about her at some point), and of course, none of the actual work I wanted to do got done. Go fig. My job really is easier when folks mail me. It's why I try to work from home whenever I can -- folks walking up to my desk when I'm in the middle of attempting to deal with someone else's problem simply don't comprehend that the person who emailed me an hour earlier should take priority (and don't get me started on folks standing over my shoulder while I'm attempting to do admin-type work). And the folks who have the need to walk up to my desk (which is not in a "public" location, by the way) are also the ones who ask questions that are in the fucking documentation! The twelve-page documentation, conveniently broken up into bite-size-chunks documentation! I might have to kill the next one who comes here. I really might.
