Frank the Forlorn

An anonymous person, let's call him "Frank" is sick and tired of printers. He fixes printers all day, 5 days a week. He says if he gets another printer call on the 7th floor that one of the hardware techs could have fixed on their own he's going to "Smack 'em upside their silly little head." O.K., sometimes I give him calls that I could probably take care of myself, then claim ignorance, further claim that I have no time to learn how to do the repair and then walk away. That doesn't make me lazy, does it? I think it is helping me improve my delegation skills, thereby preparing me for an upper management position. Still, I don't want "Frank" to crack me in the noggin, so I'm taking donations for pair of overpadded gloves so if he does smack me, it won't hurt as much.

Please send your donations for "Frank's" new gloves to:
