I have this temporary teaching gig and I'm love, love, loving it. But the printers? They're conspiring against me. I did the HR courses; I know this is low-key harassment. I mean you can't just threaten me with a papercut and call me an MF! 🤯
Indeed, I print too much but it's for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES you copier gate-keepers. I'm not peddling microplastics or printing guns...I'm trying to prepare pre-service teachers to love teaching and create art and celebrate student self-expression and make a difference in the world...but those persnickety printers? Let's be honest: they've made it xerockward, haven't they?
Codex: This is sooo funny.
ReplyDeleteMy tea bags are giving me trite life advice, you have a pc with a sense of humor.
Notifies you that it's toast, MF.
No such thing as printing too much.
Thank you for supporting my printing addiction.
Delete"xerockward" -- GROAN!
ReplyDeleteIt's a groaner for sure.
DeleteI'm sorry that made me giggle. My printer is acting up. If I get a MF comment on mine I will blame trump somehow!
ReplyDeleteDirecting blame to that MF seems reasonable to me.
Delete...sounds like a great gig.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun.
DeleteI just had to purchase a new printer. The old one never worked properly, and the one before that did but then failed after several years.
ReplyDeleteYes, it seems modern printers are now built to require (the more lucrative) warranty plans. Sigh.
DeleteThat is a THUG printer. Watch your back!
ReplyDeletePerfect word choice.
DeleteAt least it isn't the dreaded "PC load letter error." You'd have to invest in a baseball bat!
ReplyDeleteLOL, yes, I was thinking about Office Space too!

DeleteI'll probably regret saying that I have a pretty good printer. It wasn't expensive. I've had it quite some time and it still works. I did NOT sign up for 'instant ink' either. I don't like being ripped off.
ReplyDeleteBut being threatened with paper cut AND being called something like MF... well, I'd be pissed off!!
No doubt you'll regret saying that. Did your printer melt like a Salvador Dali painting 5 minutes after this comment.
DeleteThat’s a scary printer! Mine never talks to me that way. It just tells me it’s out of ink about 6 months before it’s really out of ink, and refuses to scan to my computer 92% of the time. It does what I want the other 8%, just to throw me off.
ReplyDeleteThe built in scamming is what gets me too.
DeleteI got rid of my printer years ago and when I need something to print, I go to the library. No aggravation at all.
ReplyDeleteMy printer doesn't like me and won't do as I wish. It's misogynistic and works perfectly for my husband.
ReplyDeleteSince my techie son-in-law was here in Hawaii for a couple of weeks earlier this month, I'm happy things are more or less all working. I hope my printer continues to cooperate. I just saw that you're a teacher too. I have so many teachers on my blog family.
