Oh, I wish I could be snarky with my managers. That's awesome. :D
Your advice is good, and is something along the lines of the tactics I've learned to keep buzzing manager bees at bay.
"I will be happy to do that for you. Right now I have X, Y and Z to do which take precedence, but once that's done, I'll get right on your N thing."
I can't really go to Boss!Lady with a small thing like photocopies. She expects us to be autonomous enough to handle everyday crises like that. OTOH, she's been great for resolving larger problems, like when the CAM took a whole bunch of important documents home that aren't supposed to leave the office, and then promptly lost them. It meant more work for us, but ultimately the new system will work better for everyone concerned.
