If you work in an office that has a printing room, or just a central printer that everyone sends their documents to be printed, I think it can make your day to just swing by there once in a while and see if there's anything interesting being printed.
It occurred to me to spend some time recently just nosing in and seeing what people are putting out in plain view. A visual survey returns these results:
- personal e-mails (some of them very much so)
- bills/payment receipts (personal finance items...apparently there's a lot of credit card debt here)
- legal documents (sometimes you need to just call a lawyer)
- pictures (really though, most photos look like butt when printed on a B&W laser printer)
- pages and pages of gibberish and/or nothing (someone's got a virus)
- management e-mails about policy changes (heads up!)
- jokes and other e-mail forwards (some good, some old)
- directions (....to just about everywhere)
- talk-behind-the-back e-mails (and you're printing these out because....?)
- product reviews (cliff's notes: everything breaks about a day after the warranty expires - everything)
Totally random assortment, just a little bit of everything. Would bring a smile in the middle of any day.
Of course, if you really want to have a good time, you stick around and see who comes to get some of these things. Ruh-roh!
