A Must
July 10th, 2011 | Author: kim
Getting back to the office after my lunch break yesterday, I was surprised to find my colleagues hovering together over the printer. What was more surprising, however, was the group of people, parents I presumed, waiting at the reception obviously expecting to be goaded somewhere else. I shot the science teacher a curious look and she mouthed ‘meeting.’ I nodded in understanding then directed my curious look at the harmless looking-printer which seems to be causing the commotion. This time the science teacher spoke in a clear and dismayed voice ‘out of toner.’
I finally understood. The printer wouldn’t print the orientation hand-out to be discussed at the meeting because it was out of toner. The officer-in-charge rushed to the shop where we bought our hp toner cartridges. The parents are queuing at the reception because the OIC was not there to tell them what to do and the receptionist was checking out the printer.
When it finally made sense to me, I approached the parents and asked them to get inside the play school and wait for the meeting to start. They thanked me and did what they were told.
Piece of cake!
