Since I had no stationery with me at the time, I decided to use MCI Mail to send in the invoice. Well, a month passed, and I called down to the Finance office, who told me 'We never received it.' This didn't sound right - I had never had MCI lose mail before. A few days later, the Finance people called, telling me they had found the invoice. After some questions, I found that the bright orange invoice had been placed, UNOPENED, on the desk with ADVERTISEMENTS. By coincidence, I had called just before someone got around to opening the "ad" - my invoice. So much for casting "leading technology" onto those who know nothing about it.
