Come across my desk
A phrase used to testify for all to hear within earshot, to the fact that you watched, with your own two eyes, a document literally, or figuratively, appear on your actual desk, and that you took note of that fact.
Typically used by people that do not have a lot to do, other than "look busy", this is a quintessential, "look at me, I'm important" staple. You know who you are, and we know why you use it, and now so does everybody else.
