Reason #24

To paraphrase Tom-Tom, head of the Six Chicks, from the movie 13 Going On 30, "I don't need a play by play."

I don't need to know that you're on your way into the office.  I'm going to assume that you are coming to work each day unless you tell me otherwise.   You don't need to email me or call me to let me know that you are in fact coming to work. 

And those times that you do call to tell me you're on your way in (which you don't need to do), you don't need to ask me if anyone is looking for you or if there is anything going on.  If there was, I would have contacted you to tell you so.

When you arrive to work, I don't need you to call me or email me to tell me that you are here.  (Especially since your voice is so loud that I can hear you all the way down the hall anyway.)

I don't need to know that you are going to Starbucks, are at Starbucks, or are on your way back from Starbucks.  Unless you're getting me a latte, I don't care.

I don't need to know that you are getting on a conference call, have a lunch at noon, or are going to a meeting.  Unless these things involve me in some way (you need me to prepare documents for you, you need me to make a lunch reservation, etc.) I don't need to know your every move.  Seriously.

If you're stepping out of the office to grab a coffee, or for a lunch meeting, I don't need to know this.  You only need to tell the Receptionist this so she knows how to handle your incoming calls.

I really don't need a play-by-play.
