So on Friday, my boss had me print out some bank statements from the bank's website, since the copies that the client got from the bank itself were not separated into months but instead was just one long printout. Which doesn't work for data entry purposes. So I did that, and then realized they were all outside the time frame that we needed, so like the good worker ant that I am, I got a couple of new file folders, labelled them clearly bank so and so 2010 year and bank such and such 2010 year and put them in the new data section of the client's file.

Here's what transpired this morning...

Boss: Where are those bank statements I gave you!?

Me: I printed out separated months and filed them in the client's orange file. *Turning my head, I can see the file open on her desk and the two folders are in it, so at this point I don't know what the problem is.*

Boss: NO! I mean the ones I GAVE YOU!

Me: Um. Well, since they were useless I recycled them.

Boss: OMG! WHERE! WHERE ARE THEY!

*Now, we have a paper recycle bin so it's not like this is the end of the world, though you wouldn't know it from the way my boss is behaving.*

Me: In the bin. But they're not for the year you're working on anyway. That's why they're in the new data file.

Boss: Well, I need them back!

Me: Okaaay. *I get up and get them out of the bin and hand them to her* You know, they're the same as the ones in the new data file and they're for the current year end not the prior.

Boss: *She takes them over to her desk*

***** HALF AN HOUR LATER*****

Boss: These aren't what I need! They're for next year end! And they're the same as the other ones! I guess you were right.

Me: *head desk*

It's a wonder anything gets done around here what with all the second guessing that's going on.
