GET AWAY FROM MY DESK!

What is it about the sound of a fax machine that makes peoples' ears perk up and feet get set in motion?

I swear, the fax machine in my office is like a hive. Every time it rings at least two people JUMP out of their seats to come read who it's for.

Mind you, I'm sitting right next to it and can easily deliver it to its intended recipient with no problem. If it's contract information that relates than both the recipient and our company, I'll quickly photocopy it for our achives, collate it, and drop it on your desk when I make my rounds to the Lou.

It doesn't even matter who it's for: "Ooh, a fax." *stares at fax*

Me: *reads area code on caller I.D.* "It's not for you."

Eager person: "But what is it?" *stands there stupidly and proceeds to read someone else's fax and then leaves it catacorner in the tray so that the rest of the pages eject funny.*

I don't know about you, but if I'm recieving a confidential fax, I expect you to read no further than the cover page, and not even that if my name is at the very top as it prints out. Go back to your desk, sit your ass down, and wait until I call your name.

That is all.

Sounds like they need to get out more. I mean, it's a fax. It's not brand new technology, people.

Since you wear your emotions for all to see, I would LOVE to witness your reaction to the clowns who stand by and await faxes to print. LMAO
