Office Space moments

Ok, so we have the copier from hell in our office in the Chi O house. I mean we are talking a behemoth piece of machinery from like 15 years ago. It is a perpetual fight with this piece of crap to make it work like you want it to. TWICE today I had Office Space moments. First, the dang thing ate my management study sheet and spit it out in pieces. . . SECOND it only copied the bottom half of all my bio notes. And made weird lines on the top half, I mean that is what I could see when I pulled the crumpled pieces out of the INSIDE of the copier. Yeah. . .

It made me want to be like "PC load letter?!?! WTF is PC load letter?!?!"

Somebody make me feel less stupid by giving me some encouraging Office Space moments of your own!

I spend oh, say 7 of the 8 hours that I'm at work playing online... it makes me think of how Peter says he only gets about 15 minutes of *actual* work done a day...

I had a bunch of color photos that needed to be printed out on the color copier. The thing is slow, so I started them printing, checked the first couple of them, then walked away...

When they were done, I leafed through them to make sure they were all ok. Unfortunately, while printing the third or fourth page (out of maybe 16) the printer ran out of cyan ink...

Yep, had to redo 'em.

I WORK at the place Jennifer Aniston works at in the movie. Damned if I can't remember either the name of the resturant OR her name in the movie.

And Bryan works there too.

Sometimes I feel like I LIVE that movie....we have a fax that we use as a copier that always has a paper jam, and I will have all 3 of my managers come up to me if I forgot something worksheet related..."did you get the memo..." and I work in a restaurant where we earn "WOW" pins and the trainers have stars we wear, so we refer to it as our "flair" or "flare"-whatever-and we have a Bryan there.....annoying jackazz. I really hate him. And I drive in Dallas quite often-that stop and go crap at the begining of the movie-yeah, thats real.

Chatchies? something to that effect, I think is the name of the movie. I really can't spell tonight.

Correct spelling is "chatchke(s)", a Jewish word meaning knick-nacks.

Hey, don't bitch too much about having to fix a jammed copier!! That knowledge is TRUE job security ;-)

(Related Tip: never ever teach anyone else to clear a jam or add toner)

I know that this is kind of supposed to be a joke, but why don't you just go get a simple printer at staples, they are very cheap nowdays, it would make your life so much easier...

My boss will slurp his coffee really loud and staff behind my desk saying, "Ummmm....yeah." When we changed the formating style of one of our reports, I had 3 different bosses tell me that there's a new format and that I should start using the new format.

So at MU we have to use our ID cards to get into a lot of buildings, which makes sense considering where our school is. However, there is no standard swipe pattern - most buildings are one way, the library is another. I hate it so much, I always look like a doof trying to get into the library.

We have one door in my office that ALWAYS shocks me when I touch the handle. I've actually started grounding myself on some other piece of metal before touching it. How I'd like to go at it one day with a drill....
