The Registrars' copier started leaving streaks on the Official Certified Certificates, so we called the cleaner. However, as he's got the copier taken apart, I still have to make certified copies. Thus, I enter the Vault, where the FrontOffice copier awaits.
Like any office, no two copiers are set up alike. Both copiers are set up exactly for the divisions 'owning' them. This is a disadvantage when I'm trying to make 12 copies for a funeral home director waiting out in the Front Lobby for the copies. The certificates come out of the FrontOffice copier Upside Down on the certified paper --everything's on the right side, just turned 180* from where it should be. My aesthics are screaming, but the certificates are still perfectly legal. It's what happens next that I'll have nightmares over, as I walk off and leave the Original Certificates beside the copier.
What I didn't know is that the FrontOffice ladies working the Vault were putting their "Paperwork to Shred" on that table as well. At this point, I'd walked back to my cubical, already mentally gone onto the next task. Back in the Vault, one of the ladies finally has the time to start Shredding the Paperwork, and starts on the pile on the table....
Five minutes or less, and she's walking into my cubical. "Did you leave these on my shred pile?"
Me: "OMG!"

Her: "I thought so. You're lucky I realized what they were. (TheSupervisor) would have beat you."
Me: "Forget (my supervisor)... SIRBOSS would have kicked me out of the STATE!"
