Things standing between me and the 15 copies of a 4-page document that I need for my workshop:

#1: Too busy at work yesterday to print there.n
#2: New home printer is out of yellow ink, so it won’t print at all despite the fact that there’s plenty of black ink.n
#3: Too late to go buy new ink; Fry’s is closed.n
#4: Hook up old printer, but it needs drivers installed.n
#5: Install drivers, only to learn that that printer is out of ink too.n
#6: Beg Andreas to print documents at work. He agrees.n
#7: But no, he has a meeting!n
#8: Beg him to print before meeting, but no, he has morals (!!!) and suggests I go to Kinko’s instead.n
#9: Local Kinko’s is now a construction site; find other print/copy place.n
#10: Other print/copy place says it opens at 9am, but still isn’t open at 9:10, after I’ve stood and waited for 15 minutes.

nThankfully, at about the point when I was ready to slice my throat from ear to ear and lay down bleeding on the sidewalk (MY KINGDOM FOR A FUNCTIONING PRINTER!) a nice woman walked by and told me that Kinko’s had moved. Then she put me in her car (!!!) and gave me a ride up the street to the new Kinko’s. Thankfully from there everything was smooth. Fucking hell. Who knew it had to be so hard? I am Sisyphus with my print job.
