The printer won

[susandennis]

I devoted 4 hours to getting that printer installed. One of those were on line with and HP technician who finally declared a printer port failure. What.fucking.ever. The place where I bought it will take it back and, according to their website, painlessly. We shall exercise that assertion. Stay tuned.

I ended up rolling XP back so many times, I truly expected to get a little popup that says 'what the fuck, bitch?! get it right or buy a Mac!' But, while I was fucking around I did clean up the disk and get rid of some stuff and do some other housecleaning.

And I did the laundry. And I found the library branch in Chinatown which is my closest branch but I never knew where it was - handy for returning books.

I am going to clean out the refrigerator. I pulled out a jar of something last night that I have no clue what it is. It wasn't green and fuzzy - looked like some sort of condiment. But I only like condiments I can identify so I think I'll double check and make sure it has no cousins.

So far the Mariners are actually ahead. I'll be the Twins wish we'd get the heck out of town and fast! [edit: literally minutes after I launched this entry, the Twins took a big lead. I know they feel better now.]

Later ...

Several years ago I bought an HP scanner. I installed the driver from the cd and somehow in the process it uninstalled my keyboard and mouse drivers. I called HP and they told me it was a problem with my OS, and that any further tech support would be some huge (for me) number of dollars - seventy five bucks or something? Anyway, the number was more than I paid for the scanner. I ended up returning it and using the money to have the computer un-fucked.
I bought a Lexmark printer/scanner/copier and installation was a no-brainer.

LOL!! Where the hell is Ice Box Man when ya need him!?!?

This paragraph so conjured up George Carlin's bit "Ice Box Man" in my head!

..."ya find something in the back and you have absolutely NO IDEA what it is! Could be meat...Could be cake...It's times like this that I punt...

"Honey? Is this good?"
"Well what is it?"
"I'm not sure."
"Well smell it!" SNIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFF
"It has no smell whatsover!!!"
"It's good! Put it back, somebody is saving it. It'll turn up in SOMETHING..."

"That's what frightens me..."

/falls over laughing...


George Carlin, I loves me that man. I refer to his stuff all the time at work and most of those who are younger than me look at me as though I'm on crack--George WHO???

Damn kids don't know what the hell they're missing...

I'm glad I didn't have a mouth full of my drink when I read the "What the fuck, bitch?! Get it right or buy a Mac!" pop-up text!

Hey you! Been a while... I'm glad I didn't ruin our desk or keyboard. Good to hear from you.
