paper paper paper
Ever since I started in IT some bright-spark manager or admin comes along and says 'were starting a new paperless office project' they waste a few months and finally come to the conclusion in their printed report (that nobody reads) that everything is now paperless enabled. And everyone carries on regardless.
But there are things we can do to reduce paper usage, I set-up a managed print system with large centralised printers instead of desktop varieties. It has pull queues, for most people, so only prints when you actually go up and log in to collect them. Over the last 12 months there has been 4 million pages printed but not collected. It surmounts to a drop in the ocean. We may get there one day, but I doubt it will be in my lifetime.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
