I'll wash anything we use for birthday parties if we have cake or anything guests use. I assumed everyone washed their own dishes. I talked to one of the legal assistant ladies here about how it would go if I brought it up in a meeting and she basically said sorry there's nothing you can do about it. Does this seem right to anyone else? I dont want them all to assume I'm going to be their dishwasher. I became an office clerk to get out of that.
