I have to take notes regardless, my job is to draft the minutes. I’d much rather have the presentations in front of me than just a blank legal pad. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 08:28 24
- I would suggest (for the future) that for $200-300 you can get a high speed printer at home and never have to dot that just for that reason again. -- nm - pmb Apr 22, 08:36 13
  - We’re not permitted to print from home because reasons. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 22, 08:38 3
    - Fine. Put on pants and go to work! -- nm - Spawn Apr 22, 08:46 1
      - Who said anything about pants? No one else is going to be there anyway… -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 08:50
    - Oh, yes. I forgot about the banks and these rules. I hear this complaint a lot. -- nm - pmb Apr 22, 08:43
  - $174.99 -- nm - Spawn Apr 22, 08:37 8
    - and then 100 bucks for toner each time he has to print those reports -- nm - decline Apr 22, 08:38 7
      - You have to go with the laser printers and toner (rather than ink). Toner lasts a long time. I'm a heavy printer at home and replace toner maybe - pmb Apr 22, 08:46 4
        
        This. I have a small cheap ($100) laser printer at home. The toner lasts FORVER. My preferred brand was Saumsung but I think HP bought their printer - oblique Apr 22, 08:47 3
        
        *shrug* a standard HP laser toner cartridge will print between 1200-3000 pages (depending on model). Which would be 1-2 regulatory docs for znu -- (edited) - decline Apr 22, 08:55 1
        
        Sure, but we're talking for someone's home. 8000 pages goes a long way (and my printer was about $350.) -- nm - pmb Apr 22, 09:07
        
        I use Brother. I regularly print 100-200 page documents and rarely replace the toner. -- nm - pmb Apr 22, 08:54
      - Or 1200-page regulatory filings. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 08:44
      - yup -- nm - Beaker Apr 22, 08:42
- Nah, you got this. - Spawn Apr 22, 08:31 9
  - I’ve been doing it the hard way the past two years. - znufrii Apr 22, 08:33 8
    - I always just use the printed agenda with big spaces for nites as my template to take minutes. And a sharp pencil(s), not a pen. So, yes, you need to - Andie Apr 22, 09:33
    - Yes. See my IM. - Spawn Apr 22, 08:35 6
      - The one coming up is for my nice client which is only four hours or so. My other client will have between 8 and 16 hours per meeting cycle, depending on the quarter. -- nm* - znufrii Apr 22, 08:37 5
        
        "yada, yada, yada" -- nm - Dano Apr 22, 08:48 4
        
        “Discussion ensued.” -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 08:49 3
        
        I enjoy on occasion using, "Spirited discussion ensued." -- nm - Spawn Apr 22, 08:51 2
        
        Nice. My clients are mutual funds though, so no discussion here is ever “spirited”. :) -- nm* - znufrii Apr 22, 08:52 1
        
        heh -- nm - Spawn Apr 22, 08:55
