@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!

@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.
@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!

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

@irina It really upsets me because there’s tons of ways you can make email secure and able to handle sensitive documents

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

@AnnaBaguenaude @superball All because people hate poor people! I was talking to a minority republican acquaintance of mine. He likes me 1 trillion times more than I like him, but he was trying to say, that the Republican party gets a bad reputation for hating people of color, poor people, and otherwise. I pointed out all the policies that his party enacted as a punishment for being poor and or disabled and or unable to work. He said and reply, but that’s the thing. Everybody that can work should work. The government should not take care of you because you want to sit at home and be on social media all day. He said my tax dollars should never go to anybody that isn’t trying to better their lives and that whole conversation literally did absolutely nothing to convince me that they do not hate anybody they do not know.

We tried the TI paper in our fax machine once, when we ran out of thermal fax paper. It was the same physical size and it worked OK, but the print quality wasn't as good: legible in good light, but it looked faded. Probably wouldn't scan well.
This was long before Internet fax or plain paper fax. Fax modems were still new.One Friday afternoon, another company in our building asked us for a roll of fax paper. They had ran out, and they had a big contract that was due to be sent to them.
