It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work．Her bus had inched along through heavy miming traffic， making her a few minutes late for her very first job．She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day．
Once inside the lobby， she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she couldget on one going to the sixth floor．When she finally reached the office marked ”Smith Enterprises”，she knocked at the door nervously and waited．There was no reply．She tapped on the door again， butstill there was no answer．From inside the next office， she could hear the sound of voices， so sheopened the door and went in．
Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had theinterview with Mr．Smith， it iooked quite different now．In fact，．t hardly looked like an office at all．The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking．In the front of the room， somebodymust have just told a good joke， she thought， because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in．For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her．
Then one of the men looked at his watch， clapped his hands and said something to the ottxers．Quickly they all went to their desks and， in a matter of seconds， everyone was hard at work．No one
paid any attention to Marie．Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office．Hardly looking up from his work， he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr．Smith， who would arrive at any moment．then Marie realized that the day‘s work in the office began just before Mr．Smith arrived．Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning， arriving in the office at 9:35， so that his staff knew exactly when to start working．

When e-mail first came into general use about twenty years ago， there was a lot of talk about the arrival of the paperless office．However， it seems that e-mail has yet to revolutionize office communication．According to
communications analyst Richard Metcalf， some offices have actually seen an increase in paper as a result of e-mail．”Information in the form of e-mal messages now floods our computer screens．These messages can be sent so quickly that memos（备忘录） tend to be distributed in the hundreds．For those secretaries whose bosses ask them to print out all their e-mails and leave them in their in-trays， this means using up a great deal of paper every month，” Metcalf says．
Metcalf has found t
hat because some e-mails get lost in cyberspace， important documents are increasingly likely to be asked by clients（客户）and colleagues to send all important documents both by e-mail and by fax or ”snail mail” - through the post．This highlights a further potential problem with e-mail in today‘s offices - it is taking up time rather than saving it．”With e-mail， communication is much easier， but there is also more room formisunderstandings，” says psychologist Dr David Lewis．Generally， much less care is taken with e-mails than with letters or faxes and the sender will probably print the document and reread it before putting it in an envelope or sending it by fax．
More worrying is still the increasing misuse of e mail for sending ”flame-mail” - abusive orinappropriate e-mail messages， Recent research in several companies suggests that aggressive communications like this are on the increase．E-mail has become the perfect medium for expressing workplace dissatisfaction because it is so instant．
E-mail can also be a problem in other ways．Staffs all too often make the mistake of thinking that the contents fan e-mail， like things said over the phone， are private and not permanent．But it is not only possible for an employer to read all your e-mails， it is also perfectly legal．E-mail messages canbe traced back to their origin for a period of at least two years， so you might want to rethink e-mailing your dissatisfaction about your too to your friends．The advice is to keep personal e-mails out of theoffice．
