What To Do ...

I have been advocating cutting wastage in the office. For example, why print on one side when you can print of two? Why print only one page on each side when you can print 2? I even suggested to my boss that he should follow suit.

This morning I was mildly pleased when I saw my colleague adopting my suggestion of 2 sided - 2 page on one side suggestion. Needing the same printout for an internal discussion, I went about setting the printer to print a proposal on both sides when I forgot to set 2 pages per side. Imagine my aghast when 8 pages came out, instead of 4, when the 16-page document was printed. What if my boss saw my wasteful printout?

So what did I do?

Stealthly shred the 8 pages, and re-print 4.

Talk about cutting wastage.
