Subject: Desktop Printer Removal Begins May 18
As previously announced, in order to reduce costs and improve efficiency, Global Procurement Services (GPS) will retrieve all employee convenience desktop printers globally in favor of networked group or shared floor printers.
Starting the week of May 18, members of IT Desktop Services, Global Realty Services and GPS will remove identified existing desktop printers at your location. We ask that you fully cooperate and provide the team with full access to your desktop printers. If you have extra toner cartridges that are for the printer that is being removed, you can identify them to the removal team, and they will mark them for pick up as well.

We will provide all employees whose printers are removed with detailed instructions on mapping to networked or shared printers and how to print confidential documents. If you regularly print confidential or sensitive documents, you can use the “User Mailbox” feature on multi-function printers, which will not print documents until you enter the correct password on the printer. For more information on the “User Mailbox,” please visit the intranet at procurement.statestr.com/procedures/equipment/mailbox.htm. Additional technical support will also be available through the Help Desk at + 1 617 985 HELP.
For questions, please contact the GPS Support Center at +1 617 664 8482

    TGFD thinks that he will return his empty toner cartridge but fill it with a healthy dose of ‘man soup’ also known as ‘milk of sum yung gi’

    Where are those TPS reports! They should have been printed, like, yesterday!!!

    You think that’s bad? I hear Bank of America is going to start making their ML brokers cold call from centrally-located office pay phones.

    I am pounding my secretary in her ass while she is making color copies.

    The memo should have capitalized the term “removal team” for some extra gravitas. “Removal Team”!

    WTF?
    How the heck is this going to help?
    You going to be able to sell secondhand printers for meaningful money when the friggin retailers are dumping new ones at below cost?
    Do you think making us get up and go to the network printing is going to INCREASE our productivity?
    Whats the deal? They catch someone spending a mountain on paper as they print their own porn at work?

    “User Mailbox” feature for such confidential documents as Bill Simmons articles and fantasy baseball stats…

    @9
    They probably rent or lease their printers.

    @11,
    No, that’s why you’re still gay.

  14. Posted by guest | May 14, 2009 at 9:44 AM

    Why has there been so much commenting on ass pounding lately? Is this a byproduct of Obama’s New World Order?

    Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Unlike me TGFD really is dead. He died 3 weeks ago.
    The turds running around DB claiming to be TGFD are impostors.

    I am the real TGFD, and I *DEMAND* bess force people to log-in so that my detractors and imitators can be exposed for the frauds they are.

    @9 they are the toner cartridges that bedevil it.

    For some reason C and BAC (and probably everyone else) are SOOO focused on eliminating relatively teeny tiny expenses, while they blissfully avoid confronting big, very wasteful ones, not to mention dancing around the fact that their losses are not due to colour copies, town cars, seamlessweb, etc, but non-existent risk management and such

    @17 – No. I am the real TGFD!

  21. Posted by guest | May 14, 2009 at 10:13 AM

    @14, it’s because of the ass-pounding that’s in store for you, and for all of us once the Obama~nomics agenda reduces us all to underwriting “Third World Socialist Solidarity Bonds” and lining up every afternoon for our Government Cheese.
    Obama sez “You will get one jizzmy ass-pounding for every two pounds of yummy (greasy, crumbly) Government cheese.”
    A desktop printer will be the least of your problems. Submit that welfare form in triplicate and bring your own crackers bitch.

    @17, @21 et. al.
    No, I am the REAL TGFD. I insist that all of the rest of you frauds cease and desist, or feel the ergonomic wrath of my dell keyboard.

    If at all possible, I would like to avoid having my ass pounded by Michele Bomama.
    thx

    TGFD thinks this is getting out of hand.

    @22, Our asses have already been stretched too wide from the previous admin. Even Obama can’t fill our collective gaping holes due to the massive damage already done. If anything, that cheese could be used sort of like a plaster to start cleaning up the mess…

    Good..have them walk few feet to get the printout like everyone else. Lose some weight.

    Didn’t know State Street had anyone in the John Hancock Tower. I thought they were located in, well… State Street.

    @24- TGFD would never say “The TGFD” because that is redundant. TGFD is a gay American and TGFD is proud of it.

    @12 Got it in one.
    In those halcyon days when I was at Citi they rented the plants. In January the building services guys started taking the plants from the offices (rental and watering cost saving initiative). An enraged MD offered the guy cash if he could keep them

    @9 @12 the printers are owned by State Street, the recently acquired IBT is leasing their printers. We are giving them our excess. We’ve also been instructed to begin printing two-sided starting next week… ridic.
