I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That seems like a very likely thing to happen anywhere where there is a copy machine

I’m not sure if I feel like collaborating or focusing. Can anyone recommend somewhere that could accommodate both?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The general rule for jams used to be, "If you know what you're doing, then go ahead and try to clear the jam; if not, ask a staff member to help." But lately, the remaining staff people have been saying that they've got so much work to do that they can't take the time to clear jams all the time, and so we were told to try harder to clear them ourselves. I think this is the result.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I know enough about our company's copier to clear jams, as well as the fact that it's FAR more likely to have an issue if our office manager is out of the office. Which seems to be the case for every maintenance issue, though it's possible with others that she's just so good at noticing and taking care of problems quickly that we never notice them when she's around. (The copier does it deliberately though, it hates the rest of us.)

Yeah, I’m not sure I even know where the copier are anymore.

Argh, my Amazon Prime subscription just auto-renewed. I meant to cancel that but I had no idea when it actually happened, thought it was later in the year for some reason.

Our wings are not tired

I have a copier/scanner/laser printer about three feet to my left.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My boss basically only edits things printed out.

Bill payers here print out invoices and make paper files.
