Today at the office I had to print out thirty PDFs for
someone. Why he couldn’t read them on the computer instead of killing
innumerable trees is beyond me, but mine is not to ask why, at least not at the
office. He gave me the CD the PDFs were on… and the case was taped totally
closed, so I had to remove six pieces of tape to get into it. Then I got him to
let me print them on the ton of scratch paper we have around the office… but I
used it all up and still had ten PDFs to go! The kicker is that this guy is
retired and technically no longer works here. Isn’t that kind of like if I were
to print my novel at work? Or more
precisely, asking someone else to print it out after I no longer work here and then making sure the CD it
was on was nearly impossible to access?
