Work can be irritating; and the people...

willow_25Our copier has been jamming a lot (and not in the fun, reggae way, either) lately. This causes two major problems for me. One, I copy thousands of pages of phone bills every month, and the jams make the entire process longer and more ridiculous than it needs to be. Two, the copier is right behind my desk, so if it jams for anyone else, there end up being people milling around behind me, checking out what's on my desk (which is often confidential) as they whine and try to fix the copier. Then I get pressed into service as Junior Copier Repair Gal.
The copier service tech comes in twice a week to 'make sure the machine is operating optimally'. Yeah, that's a massive fail. So, I spend lots of time describing to this guy what has gone wrong with the machine since I last saw him, and learning how to fix it.
Today, when the repair guy stopped by, he told me he discussed some of our copier woes with another technician. The response he got was "The copier isn't at it's best when it copies anything other than 8 1/2" by 11". Tell her to stop copying so many off-sized pages."
Yeah, umm, why don't I just call the phone company and tell them they have to change their paper size because my copier doesn't like their little papers. I'll get right on that.
