SUBJECT: Wasting Color Toner
I told you people to watch our toner budget and no one listened to me, so, now we are going to have to take steps to ensure that the situation is fixed. I've told all of you repeatedly that the color toner is expensive and needs to be saved for reports and not used on code submissions. And yet I continuously get all of these code submissions that are in a bunch of colors! Yesterday, DougDev told me that he "can't help it" because the IDE colors the text that way for readability. So, it's the IDE's fault? Fine.
Henceforth, Devs should only use Notepad for coding. Anyone caught using the IDE will be written up. When someone figures out a way to keep the IDE from printing in color, we can talk about switching back.
That is all,
Mr. McManager

Dear Mr. McManager,
I would like to inform you that I have no problem coding in notepad, but look forward to my extended time it takes me to complete work without my fancy little helper functions in the IDE. Im sure me taking longer to complete jobs at $60 an hour is much more cost effective then letting me use color toner.
Sincerely,
SuperDev
Dear Mr. McManager,
I'm sure your boss would be thirlled to find out that you're using the printer to print out your vacation pictures - in full color too.
Sincerely,
SuperDev
And just out of curousity, how does McManager propose code be compiled? Last I checked Notepad doesn't have that functionality.
What an idiot!!! All you have to do is go to the properties of the printer and specify B&W!!!
