So I left work at 12 yesterday to take the dog to the vets (he's fine by the way - no real explanation for what happened but he's not limping anymore) and before I left work I printed out a fic to read in the waiting room. It's very definitely NC-17 so I didn't actually read much of it there - ever get that feeling that everyone somehow knows exactly what you're reading, like they can see through the paper?

I read a little more of it last night only to discover that two pages are missing. The printer at work is a shared one across my entire office. I hope to hell those sheets aren't sitting on the printer because otherwise I just know that today's staff meeting is going to include some comments about mis-uses of printing priviledges...

I did scan through the fic online there and the part I'm missing isn't all that 'colourful' but anyone reading the sheets to see what they are will know exactly what it is. And given that there was already an incident about a year ago when I sent one of my own fics to the wrong printer which resulted in a library-wide email from IT saying "Someone's printed off a Buffy the Vampire Slayer short story to the IT services printer" when everyone in the library knew it was me...

This is not good.

See if I'd noticed the missing pages when I was at the vets I could have emailed one of my friends at work and hopefully rescued it before one of the supervisors saw it...  At least I'm usually one of the first into the office so maybe, just maybe no one's noticed. Or maybe no one will say anything...

Yeah right. That's gonna happen.
