Technilogical genus.





Introducing Ivana Trump.

So Ivana came in today. Ivana is a very nice lady. The type of lady who doesn't really need a job but has one anyway to I don't know, pay for her shopping sprees. Who knows. She's one of those "ladies who lunch" but again she is very nice.


Here comes the but...when it comes to operating the day to day gadgets in the office she throws her hands in the air and screams Help Me! After all I don't think she's ever mastered the fax machine. A while back, I had to post a little note on the machine that reads FACE DOWN. I swear every single time she would go to use the fax you would here her ask "does this go face up or face down". I'm serious. This went on for at least a year before I finally lost it.


How many times does one need to be explained something

- oh wait, OOD here. Gooooooooot it. Every time.


Anyway...as if the fax machine wasn't complicated (wink) enough, recently we got a new postage machine. Splenda is busy giving Ivana a quick 30 minute tutorial on how to use it. It's a bit more involved than the old one but so much easier as it actually does everything for you - weighs, dates, calculates the cost, etc. Which would seem easy, right? I've always been the type to figure it out myself - or at least attempt to before I ask someone to help me. But that's just me. Not Ivana.


Looks like it's time for another note. Maybe one that says Pull your head out yo ass, Ivana.

  1. i sit right behind that post machine. when ivana asked for help today I almost asked if you could help her....but i refrained. i knew you would hate me forever if i offered her your help.
    so instead i told her to ask splenda.
    of course splenda helped....i think it makes her feel relevant.
