I borrowed that image from my brother Jim. He created it in his computer. It’s a kitchen for one of his characters. I believe the portrait is of a mouse headed fellow.
In the military those were called “sleveless errands”. “Get a bucket of propwash” – “bring me the cannon report” -. The old timers were aware of the gag and when a new guy asked them a “gallon of unobtainium” they would senf him to somebody else who would send him to somebody else and so forth. My brother was in the Navy and got sent on several of these when he received his first assignment. When somebody told him to bring them a “bucket of monkey shit” he was convinced it was another of these gags. So rather than waste his time running all over the place, he headed over to the galley and figured he would enjoy a cup of coffee. Nobody would be expecting him anytime soon. He got in trouble because this was a real assignment. “Monkey shit” was military slang for the cosmoline grease they pack rifles in.
Here’s a link to animated cartoon he made a few years ago. He did all the art, animation AND voices. And he’s been working a more polished remake, since he was just starting to learn what he was doing then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dn9NcjhA7gThen click on the name Finnie Jr and you can see more of his stuff.

When the direct approach fails, use subterfuge.

Working in a similar sales office I think I would have just told her to leave.
