New Worries

Okay, I admit, I wasn't able to resist the temptation. I know I said I have nothing to worry if I have no credit cards at hand. But it is definitely hard to refuse the convenience a credit card can offer both offline and online. So I applied for a credit card without delay when a friend suggested and in less than a month I was able to reach the minimum spend amount to avail their welcome gift. Who wouldn't? My card is sparkling new and I was excited to use it with all my Christmas shopping and our Hong Kong trip.

Since I don’t have a fax machine at home to send to the bank the redemption form, I decided to use my husband’s fax machine at his office instead. His secretary's table was jam-packed with documents, a printer and an LCD monitor. On another table is another printer and a fax machine. Adjacent to the table is a stand-alone photocopier. I bet there are a lot of cables but I didn’t notice any, perhaps they were well hidden. Out of nowhere, while the secretary was faxing the document, I blurted out that she should ask his boss to get a multifunction printer. She asked me what was it and I happily told her that it is an all-in-one device that can print, scan, copy and fax with fewer cables and less space. Fuji Xerox offers a wide range of multifunction printers available in colour and black & white in different print speeds.

Before I departed, I graciously thanked the secretary and jokingly suggested to her I could use my credit card to purchase the multifunction printer.  But I know I wouldn't be smiling when I will receive my bill.  Well, just another thing for me to worry.
