Me: What is on the display?
Them: "Out of paper."
Me: Maybe you should put some paper into the little drawer marked Paper Tray?
Them: "Oh. Will that make it print my report now?"

My day, so far:

Got up and found one of my cats (Sammy) had gunk running out of her eye - chase cat, triage eye, make appointment to take cat into vet this afternoon.

Late to work.

First question at work: "The paper tray has broken off the fax machine. What should we do?"
I suggest gluing it back on. Faces light up, smiles -- "Oh, we could glue it back on!"

Second question: "The printer in the back room has stopped printing and is blinking."
Me: What is on the display?
Them: "Out of paper."
Me: Maybe you should put some paper into the little drawer marked Paper Tray?
Them: "Oh. Will that make it print my report now?"

With this kind of start, the visit to the vet should be really fun today.
Another week of cat-wrestling to get eye drops in no doubt. Can't wait!

please tell me that you are not working with such a crew of mental giants!

Unfortunately my work place is populated by a mix of a few (VERY FEW) very nice bright individuals and a whole lot of people for whom the term Mercy Killing was intended -- when I try to explain something I usually am consumed with an overwhelming urge to pick up the keyboard and batter them about the ears. (Beating them senseless would be a waste of time - they're already there.)

Frighteningly, being able to hang out in the Llounge is helping to save lives!

Nah - if this trend for eye medication continues I'll probably end up on a new reality TV show: "So You Think You Can Medicate Your Cat?"

is this your polite way of saying that some bleach would have been appropriate in the gene pool?

Full strength!! Followed by flame throwers in case anything crawled out the side!

Oh yeah - I can swathe a cat in a bath towel - the challenge comes from catching them (once they figured out what the dosage frequency is) and then timing the eye blink! I should have my reflexes from my last adventure with Goldie cat.
