oh, i interpreted it as: she should've sent the e-mail before she sent the docs, to say "heya ^_^ tHeSe DoCs ArE oN ThErE wAy" but instead she sent it after he had already received them, which led to his initial confusion and consternation that she wasted his valuable non-japanese time

I think regardless of culture, when your boss tells you to do something, you do it and don't ask questions why s/he wants it done. She was told to do it, she did it, if you want to know why you ask her boss, which you did. Did her boss reply to you?
She responded to me saying "ask him yourself" (in a nutshell)
I forwarded that email to her boss (cause as a boss I would like to know If my secretary is being lazy)((and I'm mngmt here)
my boss got pissed I forwarded the lazy secretarys email....saying you don't do that kind of stuff In The Japanese culture

Sorry, I usually dislike stereotypical jokes but that caught me off guard & made me laugh really hard.
