I Fixed The Printer!

No one is more shocked or amazed than I am! The rollers were out of alignment, and I actually managed to put them back. Don’t ask me how…I was tinkering last night at 4am while I wasn’t sleeping, and all of a sudden it was taking sheets of paper individually again. Bonus!

My Printer Is Possessed

That is the only logical explanation left. All of a sudden, it has decided that each sheet of paper is approximately six sheets thick, thus it grabs that many to print. Of course, that many won’t go through the machine, so it jams. But if I have only one sheet in the tray to try to trick it, it won’t take it in at all, and still tells me I have a paper jam. Might be time to retire it, although being me I’m going to try to fix it until it is broken so horribly beyond recognition that giving it a decent burial would be the only humane thing.

Technology Almost Won

It’s not that I don’t know in principle how the new board works, it’s that I learn by doing. And when I learn by doing, it is most helpful to have someone else near me who knows more than me. Last night I was on my own with the new board while simultaneously having to help the person working under me with the existing board since he’s still training. It didn’t go incredibly badly, but it definitely could have been a lot better. Trying to remember the new software language while still needing to think in terms of the old language hung me up a few times…go figure. Ah well…progress.

If It Works For You, I’m Jealous

But in my considered opinion, after spending 3 1/2 hours on it (including 1 1/2 hours on the phone with their support agent), TurboTax is crap. Oh, I’m sure it’s fine if you only have to fill out the EZ form, but if you have any complication whatsoever you’re up the proverbial creek without the proverbial paddle. And if all you have to fill out is the EZ form, why on earth would you pay for software when you can pick up the forms for free at the post office? I won’t go into it, but let it suffice to say if a GPS was as easy to follow as their software, I would end up in Saskatchewan when I was trying to go to Brazil.

Down To The Wire

First, let me say congratulations to Team Canada’s women’s hockey players! I didn’t get to see all of it, but what I saw looked like it was a pretty darn fine game, and y’all deserved the win. Now on to men’s hockey. While I know that Finland and Slovakia have exceptional teams (obviously, or they wouldn’t be there), my dream is to see another USA vs. Canada gold medal game. We’ll know after tonight, so good luck to all those participating!
