Day 6
Puedes Copiar?
PWPSB: Catta, there's something wrong with the copy machine.
Catta: Really what's it doing?
PWPSB: I really don't have time to analyze what's wrong here - just come fix it please.
Catta: Oh kay then. I be right there.
The coppy machine is located at the opposite end of our very long office from my cubicle. By the time I got down there, PWPSB was busy breaking the fax machine and throwing evil Cylon looks at the copier over her shoulder.
First glance I see that the copier is on - all pertinent lights are green - then I look closer at the display.
Listo Stares back at me. In fact, everything is in Spanish. Fantastic - way to put my one semester of Espanol to the test!!! Sure we never covered how to operate your copy machine, but still - got a B didn't I?
So I start trying to see something I understand besides listo. The problem is that even if it were in English, I'm not sure what I would do to change the language - and there's no obvious menu button.
So I do what any self-respecting primate would so when totally over their head - I turn the machine off.
REBOOT!
Unfortunately, that doesn't work with copy machines. As LISTO blinked back in to place on the display. Merde!
So then I just started hitting buttons - until suddenly, I notice a button I'd never used before. There was no label, and it was off to one side, out-of-the-way. I pushed it.
A menu came up and one of the choices was Idioma. Yes!!! I knew what that meant. I selected and selected the English choice. All was fixed.
Super Admin wins again and the MOEs are free to copy in their native language.
