Culture of Collaboration

My coworker Zeah just left for vacation and the office is pitching in while she's away. Amy is in charge of checking in on Zeah's cats and I'm in charge of watering Zeah's bamboo plant. Steve is in charge of reminding me to water the bamboo plant and Mark is in charge of reminding Steve to remind me to water the bamboo plant. So far, our system is working with the exception of one small spoken mishap.

Steve: Don't forget to water the plant.
plasticann: Oh yeah, thanks. Amy's in charge of the cats.
Steve: Amy, don't forget to water the cats.
