Programmer pilot fish receives an email with an attached document and a pretty standard request: Make updates and then return it."It was a four-page document, which I printed duplex to save paper," says fish."While talking with the sender, I mentioned I had to rescan it, as I had printed it duplex, and that I would then email it to him."Ten minutes later he asked me to rescan it one-sided, as he had to submit it non-duplexed. "Scratching my head, I asked how he printed it. He said he printed it duplex, since that is how I had."After several seconds, he realized that his request was totally off-the-wall and asked me to forgive him."Sharky's willing to wait for your true tale of IT life.
