Reason #28

Last night you emailed myself and another assistant, saying, "I hear all I need to do is ask for more and toner will appear on my printer..."

First off, if you don't know how to change the toner on your printer, you are clueless.  No other attorney here has ever asked me to change their toner.  Secondly, saying "Please" usually helps when you're asking people to do (stupid) things for you.  And last but not least, who do you think we are, the Toner Fairies?

So I left a box of toner on your printer.  There, it magically appeared on your printer.  And then this conversation happened:

YOU:  (gesturing to the box of toner on your printer) What's that?

ME:  (filing something) Your toner.

YOU:  Do I have to put it in?

ME:  Yes.

YOU:  I don't know how to do that.

ME:  (Trying to keep the disdain out of my voice) You don't know how to change toner?

YOU:  No.

ME:  What do you do at home?

YOU:  I don't have toner at home.

ME:  (says nothing and goes to change the toner because you are clueless and expect everyone to do everything for you because clearly you cannot be bothered to do these things for yourself)
