There is considerable wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Now it so happens that I always squirrel away a packet in my desk drawer for just such an eventuality (or, more usually, for when my printer runs out and I can't be bothered going to the stationery cupboard). However, revealing this stash in order to help out would mean making this - some might argue slightly selfish - strategy of mine public, which could put me in a bad light.
My inclination is therefore to keep schtum.
What say you?
Can't you send a minion down to PC World for a couple of reams?Quote:

You'd think, wouldn't you? But judging by the anguished emails going around, people seem to prefer to curse the darkness rather than light a candle.Quote:

Actually it was.
Extol the virtues of a paperless office instead imo.
