Don’t Touch: Pen Is Stuck
Saturday, April 14th, 2007Hi All… I just received this email… Some may have seen it before, and I could’ve just forwarded it to people, but rather than forwarding an email that’s already been forwarded at least 6 times, complete with the email addresses of everyone involved, I figured I’d post it up here.
A co-worker got a pen stuck inside our printer. He started to try and remove the pen, but I told him we don’t have time for that now, just put a note on the printer telling folks not to use it and then report it to the Help Desk. So he grabbed a piece of paper and scrawled on it. I left before he finished the note.
About 20 minutes later, one of my techs comes in laughing and says he was just in the lobby, saw a piece of paper on a printer and went to investigate. Attached is what he found. Sometimes things don’t always come out the way you want them to…
Hrmm, yes… I’ve heard of people putting their tackle in mighty unusual places, but I wouldn’t rate an office printer as being one of them I’d want to try. Thanks to “Jo” who originally sent the email, and to the chain of people who eventually forwarded it to me (Tim being the last on the chain). Being a bit sore and sorry after a buster on the bus (entirely my fault), I needed the chuckle.
