Sticky Note
FOUND by Michelle Djokich in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Found folded up on a counter in our studio this morning. I wonder what it was originally attached to.

Very intriguing! The author sounds pretty angry.

Maybe someone left their CV on the printer!

I bet it was attached to the Fight Club rules.

I imagine someone left a job description or a resume. Or a butt print.

Hmmmm....a photocopy of someone's "assets" made during the company holiday party perhaps? Or, a pay stub, check or suggestive photo that was printed out maybe? The tone sounds very authoritative - like a supervisor or boss....
Ubercool find!!

Probably attached to someone's resume they printed out. Or a personal email.

That would drive me nuts, would be killing me to find out what was printed - I would have to investigate further

Sounds like someone was printing off nudie pics in the office again!

Maybe it was a resume or job posting. Hopefully not plans to destroy the world.

i don't see angry, i think it looks like a whispered warning, "pst buddy, not good to leave..." because the writing's so small. it's killing me wondering what was left on the printer.

Reminds me of the time I found print outs entitled "How to tell someone you love you have herpes" on the public printer at work...

Hmmm, interesting. So do you think that this was written my a woman or a man? The handwritting looks male to me, but I'm not sure, the note sounds annoyed I think.

I'm a privacy specialist. That note is in regards to PHI being left in plain sight. There are all sorts of policies and procedures regarding fax, copiers and printes and PHI being left out in the open. It's so much duller than a butt print!

PHI??? personal hygiene items?

Maybe it wasn't attached to anything at all. "This" might refer to the sticky note itself. If they fall into the printer they can get stuck and gum up the works.

I think Margaret is on to something, but I disagree with her on one detail. The bottom portion of the sticky note probably has a SS#, PIN#, and other important #'s written in invisible ink. When it is on top of an electronic device (such as a printer) the magnetic rays make the ink readable. I wouldn't leave that sort of thing on a printer either.

Huh! Maybe it was a cat. They love to sit on warm office equipment.

The author sounds like my mother.

I think that the ALL CAPITALS print is a person who is an engineer or in a technical field, like how they print on blueprints and drawings. My first instinct said it was a resume that someone printed off... or a cover letter to one.

It isn't precise or uniform enough to be the handwriting of a draftsman or engineer, good try tho bandchick.

PHI:
Protected Health Information..things like medical claims, bills, social security numbers.

I think it was the Harry Potter Bong wish list left on the printer.

maybe it was something embarrassing, because the author seems to be disguising his/her handwriting in all caps.

Spy-- I'm *married* to an engineer... and my father is an engineer... and all 3 of my uncles are engineers... and I used to work as a receptionist at an arcitectural and engineering firm. I kinda think I know what their handwriting looks like. ;-)

Does that say "L7YING"???

gotta love that butt print...or face or..whichever...

Tell me again. I didn't read it right the first time. BTW I don't care who you married,(is that in quotation marks?) ask your husband, father or three uncles. I still don't think the handwriting is uniform enough for drafting. Several of the letters are formed with more than one style of strokes.

I was a receptionist in a doctor's office. I think I know how to perform brain surgery.

I'm not sure that anybody cares anymore, but PHI is protected health information. It's friends w/acronyms like "HIPAA".

I really hate that I know that - almost as much as I dislike acronyms.

Katie in UK
LMAO @ Tess' comment. But seriously I do know how to perform brain surgery, I've played operation like a million times...

tired in bed
probably attached to photocopied pics of some one's butt or other areas that the photocopier was not originaly intended to copy. naughty naughty office lady.
