I Rest My Case

I was putting together a file for a new client this afternoon, and when I pulled the folder out of the supply cabinet, it was a more reddish-brown than the plain brown files I’m used to.

Me: L, this is a different color than the ones we usually get, right?
L: Ya. It’s a slightly more reddish color.
Me: Ok. I just wanted to make sure I hadn’t gone crazy. Plus, this is the most interesting type of event that can occur in office life.
L: Sad. But true.

Me: D, do you need to put this client into the billing system or do you already have him entered? ::holds file up for D to scrutinize label::
D: I think I already have it.
…
That’s a STRANGE color. I must have ordered the wrong brand.

Me: M, here’s the new file – you’re good to go.
M: Oh my god what color is that file?!
Me: ::shakes head sadly::
