Is HomeBrewerDude crazy to have me scan 700 folders?

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

I've collected about 12 years of work from a senior researcher at my job since they were taking up a lot of room in his office. He doesn't have the heart to just throw them away (I don't think donating them to a library would work) but he needs them organized to work on intellectual property rights.

Do you think it's crazy that HomeBrewerDude has me scanning all this? I won't be scanning every page since a few have duplicates, but all the handwritten stuff will be scanned with a flatbed scanner with printed packets being fed through a high-speed scanner.

I guess I will find out how tough the Office scanner is

Cheers,
YOyoYOhowsDAjello

I'm sure you could hire an illegal immigrant to do it for 2 bucks an hour

Ooooh no that's not crazy, 700 magazines would be crazy.

What if they steal the scanner, run back to their country, and sell it? :shocked:

Now I'm waiting for someone to say I'm racist

psh, that's what chains and locks are for. or you can always ask them to turn in the keys to their '89 datsun pickup before clocking in then pick it back up when they clock out with everything still there

I'm not racist, I just hate * people.

And yes, I just play the wild card, which means I hate everyone.

Beer + loud music + scanning = good times :thumbsup:

Actually: Beer + loud music + anything= good times

Have fun!

I should bow down before you, you know how to get people to do their work! :shocked:

Oh, and I also have to label each sheet with the date, style, and title.

Then I have to use Acrobat to add a note to each sheet with the same info (don't ask me why)

Then I have to upload them to our server and organize everything back into folder structures

Well unfortunately even though HomeBrewerDude is my boss, drinking is generally frowned upon at the office. Plus... I don't drink.

The scanner is not in my office either

My office X-LS set just gets to sit by itself in my office while I go down to the room with the scanners.

I do have some music on a flash drive that I bring and use my headphones down there though

The first day of scanning (before I brought the headphones) I almost went crazy from the scanning noise

Whoa, was it cold where that screensaver pic was taken? I thought that was NSFW for a sec...I must be really tired

You need to make a game of it. Seeing how many pages you can scan in an hour, then trying to break that record each hour after...fun stuff!

 

[pyonir]

you know what's crazy? Homebrewerdude frowns on drinking at the office! That's a disgrace!

That's my erotic Vifa

Sounds like a game Principal Skinner would like

I don't think it's really up to him. I think it's more of a general policy

How would they know if he mixed something into his "coke" to drink with at lunch?
