The Photocopier Is Jammed Again

Last year, while working in a certain place in the UK, the lady on the reception desk where I worked was a real country girl. One of her lovely ways of letting a colleague know a repairman was here was something like (made up name to protect the innocent) "Jane, there's a little man here to see you". Absolutely brilliant and she just couldn't see the irony, when the guy was maybe six foot and two hundred pounds in weight.

Anyway, I remember this because the repairman who came to service this and the printers was a truly big man. But the point of this article isn't about a man and his dog, it is about photocopiers and printers.

Totally innocuous machines, sitting forlornly on a desk or filing cabinet in the corner of the office or stationery cupboard humming away and contributing to global warming, never given a second thought until Oh no paper jam, toner leak or non communication on the network... or worse.

It is at this point! in time that due deference is given to how much work these machines actually churn out, while making a frantic call to the photocopier man, promising coffee and biscuits if he can get here in the next half hour.
