Its funny for me to see a thread with this title.
I am always having a whinge about the "paperless office".
I tried many times to save paper ( goodness knows the amount of junk mail we receive far surpasses any savings I alone could make ).
However, I still tried, and here is an example, from which you may get a laugh.
Being an Electrical Technician, I used to have service jobs sent to me via fax.
ie: 1 x piece of paper.
I thought I could get smart you see, so I aksed the company who faxed jobs to me, to instead send my jobs via email .
However , when I needed to print out the jobs from the email sent, it printed out on 3 x bits of paper instead of 1 as it used to via fax....
1 x for the header, 1 x for the job and 1 x with something across the bottom of the page that I didnt need anyway.
I tried to make the emailed jobs smaller to fit on one sheet, but the stupid machine printed the email on one sheet and then spat out a 2nd page still with nothing on it except for a few meanigless letters etc at the bottom of the page.
What chance do we have with the paperless office I ask....
Now I just give up and only print when absolutely necessary, and make note pads for work notes out of the otherwise wasted paper, so at least it has a 2nd life of sorts.
