Secretary: "Alright listen up. I am under very strict orders to keep this file on my person at all times. I am to under no circumstances let anyone access its contents."

Secretary: "However, due to my strong work ethic I tend to lose focus on...small, menial tasks. Therefore, as my assistant. I need you help remind me not to file this away. Not to open it. And most importantly, make sure it does not leave my desk!"

Only if the secretary notices the slight tug of resistance as she picks up the file.

But the noise of it should alert us and then we can remind her that in this one case for this one file her well-honed reflexes and rigorous work ethic is bad and wrong.

>>1055515
Yeah, honestly, taking measures to add steps to the process of filing this file is the best preventative measure we can take to ensure she has enough time to notice (and for us to have enough time to react) if she goes for it.

Maybe tape is a bit extreme, though; or at least, it has a chance of damaging the file if she tugs at it. There are safer ways to ensure that, such as...

"Hey, maybe we should clamp a corner or two of the file under some stuff, just so there's extra steps if you or someone else gets the urge to pick it up? Like, say, wedging it partway under your computer?"

>You should put a paperweight on the folder so that it doesn't get blown away by a stray gust of wind.

Without even looking, she places the cup of pens on the folder. Then she gets back to quickly typing.

>So what is it you do here?
>So what do we do here again?
Secretary: "Just about everything. File papers, write up reports, do our taxes, answer phone calls, just about anything I can do for the company. Including not filing this folder away."

You grunt and huff as you haul the heavy stack of folders, and make your way to the shredder. The room is dim and empty. Guess you're the first person to use this thing today?

>Back to work for us all then. Start shredding while only slightly reading whats in the to be destroyed files.
You start throwing folders into the shredder, while taking a quick peek at the labels. Most of them are just names of clients, or labeled "Client Order Forms", followed with a date.

Shuffled into the mix though, are some oddly labeled folders. "Funny cat pictures", "Newspaper comics", and even "Daily Crosswords."

Do you dare take a peek inside a folder?
>>
No. 1055966 ID: ac5319

Well... nothing is stamped confidential. And even the best shredders take a while. Glance through the folders while the other folders are shredding, make sure there aren't any staples or paper clips or those clippy thingies that are beyond the capacity of that particular shredder to handle.

>Yeah, check them out. Just make sure you don't read any Heathcliff. He's bad news.
You're probably safe from seeing Heathcliff in this folder, since it's labeled Funny cats. You open it up, and flip through the pictures. They're all pictures of cats wearing a ham helmet, with the caption, "He's waiting for Ham Day."

At the end of the folder is a note,
"To whoever keeps wasting space and folders in the archives on these nonsensical pictures. When I find you, I will personally eject you out into the recycling bin."

Yeesh. Guess it won't be Ham Day anytime soon.
Ah well, back to shredding.

You toss more files into the shredder, making sure to check that none of them are the Do Not File folder. Some of the other files you see are just labeled "Office Supplies", "Employees of the Month." Nothing really notable.

Wait, i think those things we shredded were stuff that kept things running, like the employee of the month folder we shredded made that pic in the background a broken image, and that office supplies folder made the pen basket vanish.

>Check recycle bin
You open up the recycle bin. It just has documents titled "schedule for" followed by a date. Nothing too interesting.
Next you open up the new folder. Inside are a bunch of folders titled new folder1,2,3,4, and so on. I guess she doesn't know how to rename folders? Or maybe it's a way to confuse possible snoops?

>For starters, reproduce the error: Double-click inbox and see what goes wrong.

Yea, some settings somewhere allows for hidden files. Try opening New Folder and see if you can edit the folder view settings, and navigate to view the desktop with the program used to view folders, enabling showing the file extension options and showing all hidden filetypes and all those power user type settings that give more information or options or show advanced menus or whatever. That will help inform whether you can do something with the 'do not open'. I suppose it would depend on what kind of extra detail you can figure out!

You ask, surely there's some other way to prove you're not a robot. The computer isn't loading the images for you to even try and solve it.

No un-funny and un-cute cat pics, unless you want to THREATEN him!

Do we want to threaten him?

Mother of god. That... is the funniest cat pic I have ever seen in my life. It's too perfect. He'll think the machines have surpassed animanity.

There's a difference between 'inherently humorous itself', 'unsettlingly bizarre', and 'likely to provoke an amusing reaction in a target whose feelings we have no empathy towards'. Do we want to troll this guy?

There is a difference, and yet the word funny means both of those things!

You chuckle as you manage to print out some funny cat pictures, and slide them under the door.

Director Bill: "Haha, ah yes. Nothing like some funny cat pictures in the morning. Or is it still morning? I don't have any windows."

You stand waiting for him to open the door, but you just continue to hear him quack up over your pictures.

Director Bill: "Oh I love the funny cat drinking an energy drink! And the cute little one buggin the momma cat!"

Finally, he opens up the door.

Director Bill: "Ah! You're that new guy workin for Grace. So what are you here to bother me with now?"

You hand him the invite to the pizza party meeting.

Director Bill: "A pizza party investor meeting? That doesn't sound right. Why would we have an investor meeting at a pizza place? That isn't very formal or professional. What am I even supposed to even wear? Is it supposed to be a formal suit and tie event? What if I get cheese and grease all over my suit, and they just sell all their stocks in the company because we look all greasy and gross?! If it's more of a casual Friday thing though..."

He just keeps rambling and rambling about pizza and clothes. You see how he's earned his job title now.

You apologize and share your sympathies for Director Bill's door, but explain you need to get going. You hop over the charred remains of the exploded door and head down Servin's wing.

As you travel on through, you're stopped by a toll booth? When did office buildings have toll booths?!

Warthog: "Sorry. Hard hats required beyond this point. Can't let you pass till you put one on."

Sadly, the only hard hat left doesn't have antler holes that fit yours!

Why do we need a hard hat?

No. 1064803 ID: 62124a

Is there a way around? I don't see any hats appropriate for my species. Am I obligated to wear the gear correctly?

This is discrimination. Threaten to make a complaint unless they supply a hat you can wear.

I'd say it's a failure to provide appropriate protective equipment for you to do your job duties, which will by necessity take you all over the facility.

Or you could try and reality warp yourself some gear, that might maybe work??

these construction workers gotta have building tools. Ask for some kind of powerful drill to drill some antler sized holes on this hardhat.

...

unless all the building tools disappeared too after shredding those files.

Photocopy hat, then draw holes on the photocopy. Then the hat will have holes because that's what got photocopied.
