I think that everyone who works in an office must have some piece of office equipment that gives them consistent trouble.
For some reason we keep the paperwork for 5 years, as well as maintain digital storage that is probably backed up everyday in 5 different places. Redundancy can go too far. In order to make digital copies we have a document scanner. It takes stacks of papers and runs them through at what is supposed to be a high rate of speed while capturing the page image.
This thing sucks.
It jams all the time. I make sure the papers are all lined up in a nice and neat little pile with no wrinkles or any incosistencies of any kind. Then I start the scanner. It will go through a fourth of the stack when suddenly it makes an awful crunching noise. The paper jams and everything goes wrong.
Instead of taking it out to a field and murdering it 'office space' style, I try to laugh it off by making farting noises everytime it happens.
oh.. and blogging about it
grrr...
Today has been great. VERY busy, but good. Rachel got me an awesome early birthday present. It's a "3.5 portable digital picture frame. I've got it powered through my USB port now, but it runs great on its Li-ion battery, too. It's the perfect size for my desk or pocket and it's really brightened my day.
I want to write more, but I only have as much time to write as I've already taken.
Maybe I'll actually blog at home while I'm NOT at work.
There's an interesting thought...

Super lame. Maybe if you put 1/4 stack in at a time?
ReplyDeleteOk so it's really irritating that when I want to respond to a note, if I click on your name it takes me to your profile instead of your blog.
ReplyDeleteAlso: you'd get along so well with my mom and sister. They're practically obsessed with Pride & Prejudice, and they like Sense & Sensibility as well.
Dust motes are not evil! Though I'm sorry if you've got allergies. It -is- possible to focus on them, though not easy.
