Emergency!

While I was at the reference desk this morning, I answered a call from the partner of one of my coworkers. She told me she had been trying to call my coworker for 20 minutes, but her direct line was busy. She asked me to go to my coworker's office and tell her to hang up and call her partner's cell phone because it's really important. Well, okay. I can't make her to hang up, but I can pass on the message. So I wrote it down, walked back to my coworker's office, and handed the message to her with a shrug to indicate that I hadn't been told what exactly was so time-sensitive. She promptly called her partner and settled the very important matter that required immediate attention: which salad dressing to buy.

My head hurts.
