You know what sucks? Spam faxes. I have a fax machine because my grandparents don't do email but will send faxes, and every now and then I get a phone call that turns out to be a junk mail fax, which makes me grumpy. First of all, we're on the national don't call list, and second of all I'm pretty sure sending unsolicited faxes is illegal, since it costs me fax paper and telemarketers and the like are only allowed to go about their business if all it costs me is time. So, any of you who know more about this kind of thing are strongly encouraged to post below (in particular, if there's any way of reporting the fax-spammers so they get in trouble, I'd like to know about it). I'd go ask the Internet, but it's time for me to get dressed and go to work. Aside from this one interruption, it's been a lovely morning thus far.

From what I understand, unsolicited commericial faxes are a big no-no. There were signs up at work saying that if we ever got a complaint, we should forward it to the top of the food chain post haste.

HOWEVER! I had the coolest artifact ever at work: a Nigerian spam, transcribed onto official letterhead and faxed to us at work. It was even signed. So cool.
