A Silent War


There is a silent war going on in my office. No one talks about it, or even admits it but it is definitely going on. It is a power struggle

and we are all determined to win. It is a battle over refilling the copy machine with paper. As of right now it has been over a week with the "Tray 4 Empty" flashing on the screen. And we all see it, and we all know its there, and we all know that all we need to do is put in 3 packages of paper to make it go away, but that would be surrendering and losing power. Each tray is slowing starting to empty and soon the entire machine will be out of 8 1/2 x 11 paper. It is going to come down to who will need to make a copy when that happens. Because only then will we will be forced to surrender the power and refill the machine.
