I work at a multi-branch distribution company and one of my co-workers’ daughters, 19 at the time, was brought in to help with some general office work, i.e. filing, sorting, faxing, etc. She had been there for a couple of days when she was asked to fax a one page document to one of our branch locations. She was told to simply put the document into the machine and press the “Branch 1” button and the machine would do the rest. When she didn’t return as soon as expected, another worker went to see if something was wrong. She located her in front of the fax machine looking perplexed. “What’s wrong?” she was asked. “Something is wrong with this machine. Each time when I put the paper in and send it, it just comes right back out. It won’t take it!”
