I think there might've been some sort of contest at [hospital site] today for which department employs the dumbest people.....
Reading Comprehension Fail
Not sure which department did this as it's a machine shared by 3 departments, but man oh man.....this is the same machine from this thread, and yes, the signs are still there....
Someone called to say the copier was out of toner, so I went up there with a new toner bottle. Approaching the machine I could see 3 red lights......but these copiers pop up a full-screen error message when the toner is empty, and there was no error. Taking a closer look, I found that the machine was completely out of paper. All four drawers were empty, and there was more paper sitting on a table right next to the machine.
Toner status? 91-100%
You DO know those are expensive.....right?
I brought a toner for an HP laser printer to Urology. They declined my offer to install it, citing the fact that the person who requested it was with a patient. Fair enough. Most people decline anyway and it's rarely an issue.
Yet before I even got back from that, they had called again to say I "must've brought the wrong one" because it "didn't fit."
Bullshit.....if I brought the wrong one, it's because they gave us the wrong information. It certainly wouldn't be the first time that's happened.
After verifying the info I'd been given, I went back up there. The cartridge I'd delivered was nowhere to be found.
"Oh, we threw it out"
Me:
I think they must've seen the horrified look on my face because they offered to get it out of the trash. And guess what? It was the right cartridge. It went right in. They thought it looked different and hadn't even TRIED to put it in.
And even if it HAD been the wrong cartridge, don't throw it away for God's sake! We will take it back and use it in another machine! Jeeze!
"Paper? What paper?"
While I was collecting some meter readings, someone stopped me and asked if I'd "gotten her message."
I explained that I'd been out of our office for a while and hadn't been given any message. She said she had asked for paper for this copier.
Wait....I just brought paper up here on Friday.....
*looks*
And it was right there on the eye-level shelf.....
"Oh wow I must be blind!"
You don't say?
