Fairy Godmothers
Life is strange and fairy godmothers apparently do exist.
Ever had one of those coincidences where you want to call someone and the phone rings and there they are?
Ok, how about this? You are running around putting out fires at work, putting enough miles on your shoes that you want to turn in a travel voucher and get reimbursed. Then you find that someone used the last of the supplies for your department's top quality color printer and failed to tell anyone about it.
Naturally, the powers that be consider this to be a disaster of fantastic proportions and there is no way that the department can function for an instant without that color printer, let alone the several days that you know an order will take. So you put out your current fire, take a deep breath and prepare to kiss butt and spend dough to get a rush order placed and hopefully get those urgent color prints flowing again.
You walk in to the supply clerk's office and she says, “Where do you want these supplies for the color printer?”
“Oh, yeah, don't forget that it is payday.”
