Cutting Edge, Last Year
Upgrading hardware,
Investing in technology.
Still runs too slowly.
Technical Mistake
Typing up reports
focused on office tech skills.
Forget to save draft.
Trouble Communicating
The internet phones
do provide cheaper service–
Can’t call tech support.
Accidental Security
Password protocol:
Constant new combinations.
Always forgetting.
All In One
The new copier
scans and faxes and prints.
Can it brew coffee?
Cheaper is not Always Better
Cost saving measure:
layoff computer tech guy.
The internet fails.
The Virus Ate My Homework
The latest virus
ate my computer files.
Lost twelve page report.
Lazy Fax
The Fax cover sheets
Don’t have the right phone number.
Use them anyway.
Paper Spray
The old fax machine
Spews paper across the room.
I clean up the mess.
Streaking
My ailing printer
Streaks my eighteen page report;
Reprint at Kinkos.
