Story of my life ...

apocalypsosMy submission for the fellowship has to be sent out this Friday. No, ifs, ands, buts, or other conjunctions. So what does this mean, precisely? It means that my printer has decided that now would be the perfect time to crap out on me.
Grrrrrrrr.
I've tried everything your average technological idiot would. I unplugged and replugged it. I removed and put back the ink. I played with the spinny thingies. I plied it with offers of chocolate, flowers, money ... I even remember saying something about a date with a very nice fax machine in my dad's office. Ten more minutes and I'm going to dress it up in a pretty frock and take it to the nearest computer show to schmooze with the laptops.
And no, before anyone asks, I'm not still drunk. Even if I'm starting to wish I were.
You want to know the worst thing? Take a look at my music. I'm burdened by the knowledge my father has a sledgehammer. What I'm really tempted to do at this point is put the damn printer in front of the TV, pop in an "Office Space" DVD, skip ahead to the "destruction of the fax machine" scene, and let it cower in horror as I lovingly stroke the sledgehammer.
Hmm. That might actually work. Maybe I should try that.
Grrrrrrrr.
