Why I hate zombie-like adherence to rigid processes.

| Time Line | Event |
|---|---|
| Friday (afternoon) | Sent request for a conference room on Monday 3PM |
| Monday (morning) | Sent confirmation request if a conf. room will be available. |
| Monday 2:50 PM | Cancel meeting since no room is available. |
| Monday 3:20 PM | Confirmation mail arrives that conference room X.1 has been allocated for my request. |
| Monday 3:21 PM | Replied to confirmation mail stating that meeting has already been cancelled and room can be reallocated. |
| Tuesday 10:00 AM | Confirmation reply (with apology for late processing) arrives that conference room Y.2 has been allocated for my request. |
| Tuesday 10:01 AM | Puzzled, I slam my palm on my forehead while my brain is screaming "Aieyayayayay!" |
ciao!
Now you have 2 rooms for nothing! Great!
Life is good, isn’t it.
ciao!
