Mindnumbing

I just caused a major commotion in the office by asking to have the previous teacher's posters sent to her new school. Everyday the school's send each other documents and so on with their own mini postal system. It is basically just that one admin staff goes around to each school at 11am ish each day picking up their mail, dropping off stuff and so on. Very easy, the schools each have their own car. So in my mind sending posters to Nishi is easy, I just leave it here and who ever goes to Nishi, or comes from Nishi that day, takes it there. Oh NO, of course nothing would be that simple. The size of the posters was an issue apparently. Unless it could fit inside an envelope, they couldn't send it. It's not the real mail guys, you don't need an envelope. But oh my god was there chaos for a good five minutes before someone finally found a HUGE envelope and stuffed one corner of the poster into it. All fixed. What the hell? There was no difference between the size, weight, ease in carrying of the posters before or after they shoved one corner into an envelope. I would say that folks around here are bad at problem solving except that mostly they are trying to find solutions to things that I wouldn't even consider a problem to begin with.
