What's wrong with this picture? - IX



Here are the mail slots in our doctor's lounge.



Last week, each one was stuffed with this memo. Don't get me wrong here - there's nothing wrong with the memo. It's useful info. But, once I've read it...






There are about 100 mail slots in the lounge. All of them get the memo, even the ones for doctors who have retired or moved. (Why do we still have those slots?) The garbage can fills up pretty quickly on memo day.

The holidays are particularly hard on the forests. Today was a 3-memo day.








Earlier this year (I believe it was during the Easter paper blizzard), I called the admin assistant responsible for these memos and asked if the information could be sent out by email. Just set up an email group and press 'Send'.

Think of the savings: Paper, ink, delivery time, less garbage to haul.

Well, it's Christmas and the memos keep coming.

Happy Holidays, Office Depot!
