Ever seen "Office Space"?  Today our beast of a POS printer is being taken out to the field replaced with a functioning model. This might have just made my month. Pretty sad, huh? |

Nope. I was estatic when the chromatopac friend and my boss finally had to replace the HPLC controller with one that could connect to the computer software. Welcome to the 21st century!  If it hadn't died I'd still be using the damn thing. Technology was so outdated the Shimadzu service tech said there wasn't anyone left who knew how to service them.

We had some "fusion server" error. So outdated that they would rather throw it away than fix it. Maybe now I can print more than 5 sheets at a time and possibly even...gasp...print on BOTH sides!!!  It's less about saving paper and more about me not wanting to box up all that paper. We have to keep printed copies of our reports even though no one ever looks at them. Ever. So I print 2 pages per side and then do front & back. Laziness at it's finest  |

<<Grabs special edition Red Swingline stapler and clutches it close to her chest>> (Yes there is such a thing, and yes I have one ) Me too! I love my red swingline I ordered it at my best job ever years ago because my bosses would steal the red plastic one off my desk from my Office Space box set which also came with a coffee mug and TPS cover sheet note pad!!! I would walk in their office and say, I believe you have my stapler -rofl-Also, makes me want to watch News Radio |

They painted the one in the movie - there was such a demand after it came out that Swingline decided to produce a special edition red stapler ... my mind is filled with useless trivia ... |

I have an old Swingline stapler, and it is ( and I am not making this up ) gray with tiny black and white spots. It was ordered for me when I worked at a little hospital in the billing dept., and the other girls said it looked like a snake. When I left, they all declared they would never touch it, and now I have my own, vintage, snakey Swingline. I keep it locked up in my cupboard at work in case somebody wants to swipe my beautiful, snakey Swingline.
Congrats on your new printer, even if it isn't as good as a Swingline !

My co-worker had a wine-red Bostitch, but we kept stealing it from her anyway She had never seen the movie and couldn't figure out why we kept swiping the stapler. So one day I stole it & left the movie in it's place. I told her she couldn't get the stapler back until she had watched the movie |
