Cube Q&A: Copiers

Q: Why do people fuck up the copiers in Cube City?
A: Because people have to fuck things up. It's in them. If there's a fax machine to jam, by god, they're going to jam it. If there's a copier to break, they're going to break it. If there's a printer to jam or break or abandon -- because adding paper is apparently beneath them -- well...they're going to jam, break, and/or abandon it. Do you copy?

I roared with glee when I read this entry. I have punched every number on the copier to clear it, pulled it apart, lovingly fed it with reams of tree-crushing paper and even given it the hard stare, but copiers just get so frigged up that it takes a TECHNICIAN to fix them. It's never on good timing, either. It's always just before the client steps through the door.

I dare somebody to leave a note that says, "sorry you are just now finding out that you will not be getting your document. I tried but I couldn't make it work for you today . . . See ya."
