***THE OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD***

The Paperless Future - Emma!!

The small, family owned company I work for, is trying to go paperless. Not for environmental reasons, just because they don't like paper, and want to move into the age of technology. So, they are pushing hard for us to do every thing digitally and electronically now.

Is it me, or is that a bit extreme, considering the mom and pop shops that we deal with, and how many of those customers won't be "digital" or may not even be electronic savy? Somehow, this logic is lost on our new management....which is the younger generation of the family, who just took over things.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for upgrading and being up to date with technology, creating more efficiency, saving time and money (not using paper), but I also think about the kind of company we are and that we ship a lot of stuff, and how literally impossible it is to go completely paperless. As well, I think about the state of the country, the threats from abroad, and wonder if going ALL digital is the wisest move. But who am I, but a lowly office worker.


And I have to admit, I worry that this is coming...

Knock, Knock
Who’s there?
I don’t know, my file name was changed.

Why did the businessman cross the road?
To get to a file at a colleague’s office.


 

What do you call a business without electronic filing system software?
Inefficient.


Jesus and Satan have a discussion as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest, with God as the judge. 

They sit themselves at their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over. 

He asks Satan to show what he has come up with. Satan is visibly upset, and cries, "I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went out." 

"Very well, then," says God, "let us see if Jesus fared any better." 

Jesus enters a command, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished. 

He stutters, "B-b-but how? I lost everything, yet Jesus' program is intact. How did he do it?" 

God smiled all-knowingly, "Jesus saves."
