Adventures with secretarial work.
Boss: Make a copy of these 70 pages out of this strangely bound book.
Me: Okay.
Me: [goes to copy machine] Hey, copy machine. It's been a while.
Copy machine: [snub]
Me: Alright, well, I hope you're not too angry.
CM: [continues to be silent]
Me: [starts to make copies, gets to page 20 or so]
CM: Error!
Me: Oh, you're out of paper. [adds paper, continues copying]
CM: Error!
Me: You just got new toner last week! [retrieves boss]
Boss: [takes out toner thing, puts it back in, goes back to desk]
Me: There.
CM: Paper jam!
Me: [grumbles]
CM: Unknown error!
Me: Rarrr.
Boss: Are you talking to the copy machine again?
Me: It's being mean!
Boss: It's inanimate.
Me: It's still being mean. [pout]
Phones. I like answering phones. And filing. And things not involving bullying copy machines.
