Well, I need paper. Seems like every Tuesday and Thursday nights, it's the same sad story...no paper in the laser printer. Now what good is this fine HP printer without paper? Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
So, time to go looking for paper. First choice involves the fewest number of steps. I'll go next door to the Business Education office. But, I find it locked. No problem. I'll try copier in the faculty lounge. No luck. It's empty, too. OK, now I need to find security to open the Business Education Office. I wander down the hall to the Security Office. Anyone home? No. I wait. Five minutes. Ten minutes. Fifteen minutes. This is too much. I wonder if housekeeping can contact security. What is there was a real emergency? I read a sign outside the security office door... defibrulator inside. Well I can't get to it! What if someone was having a heart attack? I talk with housekeeping. She has the phone number of Bob the Security guy. I phone him. Bob, can you let me into the Business Education office? Well, he is busy across the street in the Administration building testing the fire alarms. Well, what if there was a fire over here? There is no one to report an emergency to. Bob says that he will be back in fifteen minutes and will meet me in my classroom. After forty-five minutes, he shows. Now I can get paper and find out what the printer is for.
