I'm angry at paper wasting

Reading for training: 1,086 pages
2 full reams of paper , 1 ream = 500 sheets
3 people printing: 6.515 reams of paper
40% of one whole tree
Paperless Act from the government please?
I printed 1-97, double sided
But thought this was too much and decided to print only what was needed
One trainee forgot his, so he prints it again, this time single-sided
Plus 19 versions of a ten page test (which I can print in 3 pages)
Paper that will be read in two weeks
And trashed in the next
Makes me sick
Angry
I want to puke
I'll read mine on PDF please
Oh won't somebody help me save the trees?

the office

Work was slightly like the show "the Office" today. Season five, Episode twenty-something. In the show, Michael quits his job as head of Dunder Mifflin and starts Michael Scott Paper Co., ironically in Dunder Mifflin's basement. The three workers are confined to a small space and are talking about each other on the phone, even though everyone is within earshot of each other. It is quite comical. In my office, there are now three of us working in a small space and I was reminded of "the Office" episode when my co-worker Jeremy started whispering into his cell-phone, three feet away from me. I smiled.

Good things come to those who wait. Seriously.
