Struggle with a machine
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Today, my boss passed me 4 large stacks of documents to be photocopied. Photocopying is easy job, but I didn't expect the photocopier to experience an error after removing the papers caught in a jam. The photocopier is considered one of the most important machines in the office, since everyone has to print numerous letters addressed to the clients and agents. So imagine me sitting at my desk, typing and feeling ever so guilty for the next 2 hours because the staff can no longer print any letters. I felt worse when the perm staff started teasing me about docking my pay to compensate for the repairs. Though I know they're teasing, I truly indeed felt sorry even though I swore that I did nothing to cause the jam. I finally heaved a sign of relieve when the technician (my saviour!) came in. Phew! After lunch, I continued with the photocopying. Unluckily enough, the same error surfaced again. For one moment, my heart sank to the end of the bottom pit. Thankfully, the error was resolved this time within 5 minutes. Let's just say, the photocopier had managed to 'make my day'.
