To All the Secretaries Out There

It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged, and really, I don’t feel like it’s been long enough. My general malaise towards sharing any detail of my life events has increased in recent weeks. Actually, I don’t think it’s so much that as it is that I’m simply not in the mood. However, I came across a story from a friend that impressed me to no end. I can’t help but share.

 

This is a copy/paste from just a few of our 1,384,990,834 lines of dialogue we’ve shared since initially chatting on line 3-4 years ago. It’s now a daily occurrence, without which I don’t quite feel like work is work. Or maybe it actually is work without it…I don’t know. Anyway, on to the show:

 

I really am at my limit.

So i asked my secretary to create some binders for a hearing next week. I wanted the complaint, answer, motions, etc. in it.

I say “will you print them off double sided so we can conserve space? if you don’t know how, ask (names removed to protect the ignorant) (the other secretary).”

She says “sure.”

I come back from lunch with a msg from her.

“Um, I found these documents and printed them out but none of them are double sided”
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A DOUBLE SIDED ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT

 

Okay, so the first time I read that I chuckled, but everytime since I have laughed even more. I’m not sure what kind of smarts it takes to be able to hit “properties” inside the print window. But what do I know, I’ve been printing for years so I’m pretty good at it. Seriously, Funny!!!

 

Anyway, I found a new artist today, Christopher Bell. Really, really, really good.
