Sometimes I wonder if I’m actually in a sitcom involving office antics. An example: Friday, I was off due to the exam so I had asked a co-worker to get a room reservation contract signed and faxed over. Come Monday morning, I get a phone call from the Holiday Inn saying they received one contract signed, but not another one. Strange. Alright, I’ll just go ask my colleague about it. Ooops…she’s sick. So I ask a few people to get to the bottom of it.
In the meantime, I’m working on something else and lo and behold, someone walks by and passes me a contract they found at the fax machine. Hey, it’s the missing contract! Why is it our fax machine and not the one at Holiday Inn?
That’s right, someone here faxed it to a machine which was 10 meters away.
Classic. I’m having a good laugh right now and I’m sure they will too when they get back tomorrow.
update: I’m not allowed to laugh at this anymore. I did the exact same thing yesterday.

One reply on “Mysterious Fax Machines”
I love that part of Office Space when they take the fax machine/printer/whatever out to the field and bust it up. I’ve busted my gut multiple times watching that.
