MEET THE SECRETARY — by Steve Nadis
I needed my credit card statement for tax accounting purposes and not having a fax machine, I asked the company to fax it to a nearby photocopy place. I called the establishment twice to see if the fax had arrived. It had not, so I asked the copy guy if he could give me a call when the fax arrives. “That’s not a service we provide,” he informed me. “We don’t operate as an extended office for people.”
“Fine,” I said. “Can you take a letter?”

i think youre rapid answer was sexist .
imbigious at least……..=z=
LOL.
Thanks WFW, it was meant to amuse. Sorry Z, if you were offended. Is the remark sexist even if the “copy guy” is a guy?
I have a dusty, old Brother thermal-paper FAX that works quite well. Interested?
Thanks MP, that’s very generous. But I rarely have to fax & am trying to avoid acquiring new things. Besides, now that I have an extension of my office right up the street–and cheerful, friendly service to go with it–who needs the equipment?
Yer right.. who needs it!
Just don’t ask them to photocopy a burglar alarm service schematic… Oi! You’d think I asked them to copy a
Federal agent’s I.D. card!
Where should I copy that–at my neighborhood 7-11?
Probably best done quickly at the library when it’s slow- to keep suspicious eyes away. (Kinko “hi-management” clamped down on copyright infringements a few years back)
Librarians are too snoopy; I’d rather take my chances w/the wacky 7-11 clerks.
of course….=z=
