Perspective is everything!

So I'm at work today, and my co-worker and I are having an issue with the printer....soon, everyone is calling and stopping by our desks to ask what's up. So this one woman comes by and asks why she suddenly can't print, and my co-worker says to her that no one can print right now - we're having a technical problem with the print server, and he adds that the issue should be fixed in about 10 minutes. So she leaves, and my co-worker walks away too. 5 minutes go by, and the same woman comes by my desk and asks me what wrong with her print function, that she can't print. So I tell her basically the same thing that my co-worker told her - yada yada. As she's leaving to go back to her office, my co-worker returns and looks at the woman walking away, and then look back at me. "So what did she want?" he asks. I tell him she asked me, pretty much, the same question she asked him, and that I told her the same thing that he had told her. My co-worker shakes his head and says tsk tsk. I say "Well, maybe she didn't hear what you said to her." My co-worker says, "No honey, she heard what I said all right, she just didn't listen to what I said."

I loved that! Sometimes it's just all about your perspective.
