        @superball Never mess with me before I have my morning tea! I do think it’s utterly ridiculous that I have to do this review every few years or so though

          @WeirdWriter It is ridiculous. One of my friends cares for her husband, who suffered a permanently debilitating stroke, and deals with the same bullshit. I’ll have to pass this along to her. 😁

              @WeirdWriter RIP Karen's toner budget. Sorry to hear that you didn't miraculously get new vision, despite a letter from the government.

                @stephaniepixie Her Tone is what really got to me. No sympathy whatsoever! I shouldn’t even have to do this ridiculous review every few years AnyWho. Thank you! Don’t fuck with me before my morning tea! Smile!

                          @amberage Hah! It took me years to acquire all that documentation! I shouldn’t even have to do this ridiculous review in the first place

                            @mayintoronto I should have included a note with the latest eye chart that said your letter did not cure me!

                              @superball one of my friends had a leg amputated. Same bullshit to “prove” it hadn't grown back. @WeirdWriter

                                It could have been worse (for the office); Karen could have been using a thermal-paper fax machine.

                                  @WeirdWriter I'm surprised that people still use fax machines when there are so many more convenient ways to send a message!

                                    I used to work for a company that had a contract with TI that allowed us to resell the Silent 700 terminal (and consumables). We didn't sell many terminals, but we had to keep at least one box of the official TI thermal paper in stock (to be able to supply our remote sites, where each terminal needed at least 1 spare roll of paper on hand). That contract was the best way for us to keep enough paper reliably in stock.

                                    Everyone was using thermal paper fax machines at the time.

                                          @WeirdWriter If *they* send a fax to *you*, do you have a way to make it readable?
