One of my most negative first work experiences was learning how to use a fax machine.  I knew from the moment that I came into contact with that machine we would not be friends.  Do I put the page upside down or right side up?  Does the writing on the sheet need to face me or face the machine?  What number do I dial?  Do I have to dial 9 first?

And then when I did seem to get it right according to the long list of instructions posted on a white piece of paper above, I had to wait while it called the number.  Sometimes it would take several minutes to go through.

You can imagine my excitement when I realized that I no longer had to use that rotten machine anymore.  In my office I use fax to email, which in my opinion is one of the more important innovations in modern technology.  Now my computer is my fax machine, which I most definitely prefer.

I can do it from my seat.  No more waiting for the phone to ring.  It’s fast, convenient, and I don’t have to remember which side of the paper goes in first.  Yay!
