Workplace ettiquette question [More:]Is "Fucked if I know!" an acceptable response to an email asking you to "just look in to" something?
That would depend on where one works. If one works in a brothel, it would imply that the looker-into will win a prize.

Depends on where you work, where I work it is totally appropriate, in fact we only have two responses, which I have on a F11 and F12 key macro:

"Fucked if I know."

and

"Tell 'em to stick it in their doody hole."

How to tell if I work in a brothel please Jon? There do seem to be a lot of whores and whoremongers around.

that's right, whoremongers

"Capn, did you get a chance to look in to tha... why are you photoshopping a picture of Howdy Doody?"

Next time I'm tempted to say "fucked if I know" I think I'll just point to the copy of that picture on my cubicle wall.

Best work anecdote ever: So one day, I'm talking to my then-supervisor, a white-haired Greek guy who's pretty laid back. This is the same guy who told me that one of the main reasons why there isn't a strict dress code policy here is that he knows we don't get paid a lot and it's just one way of making things easier for us data monkeys.

He had a bunch of printouts of artists, musicians, etc. in his cube, including that famous picture of Johnny Cash flipping off the camera that became the basis for an ad after Cash lost one year at the Grammys. Well, one day we were talking about something, and I got really mad at him, or the situation or something. So I said to him, "No offense, but..."

...and pointed to the picture.

I am so lucky I didn't get fired.

But then again, they love me here.

I have had one of those days where I could have said "fucked if I know" no less than 200 times, each one in context and keeping with the logic of the conversation.

Goddamn I need a beer.
