We all agree that technology is awesome when it works like we expect it to.
It’s simple, right?
We have a Xerox photocopier/scanner at work.
Step1: scan an important document.
Step2: Technology kicks in and it sends a PDF file to our desktop computer which I then attach to an email and on its way it goes. (This is critical)
Step3: take important document and shred it, don’t be needing it anymore.
Step4: forget to email it to the intended recipient.
Step5: remember the following day that it is sitting in the scan file somewhere.
Step6: No problem! Open the scan file and send it one day late.
Step7: SHIT – the scan program isn’t communicating with the Scanner and I can’t access my documents.
Step8: Get the scanner program talking to the Xerox again, which is now talking to my desktop scan file.
Step9: Do a test scan.
Step10: Success
Step11: FIND IMPORTANT DOCUMENT again, email it for sure this time, now QUIT SCREWING AROUND WITH PINK-POST-IT-NOTES and get back to work.
Teeheehee…..my life, except for the pink post-it notes. Mine were real documents. Some were never found. Alas…..
It’s a challenge sometimes. It doesn’t help that I’m the type who wants to know “how” things work, rather than calling a tech to fix it. I want to figure out the puzzle myself. I’ll just do a little troubleshooting before I surrender…teehee.
