My Printer Hates Me
My printer hates me!
This past week I suddenly got a beep from the office intercom. The school secretary comes on and says, “Ms.
Wise, we just received a phone call from a school in another state, and they
are complaining because you are printing to their computer!” Did you pick up on the words, “ANOTHER
STATE”? She went on to explain that it
is a color printer so they are really frustrated! Of course, I am thinking, “Color, wow, I
wonder if they would mind mailing it to me!”
This just boggles my mind because I would not know how to
print to a computer in our neighboring town, Mulberry, much less a computer in
another state. Usually I just hit print
and it magically appears at my desk.
Of course, now I am afraid that every time I print, I am
wasting some schools precious colored ink, and another negative phone call is
forthcoming. I figure I have probably
made it to some FBI watch list at this point.
So now, with a sigh, I prayerfully push print, and hope it comes out at
my desk and not three states away. I
might just start putting another teacher’s name on everything I print just in
case the school gets any more complaints about my printing (I can always white
the name out later). Needless to say, I
have a rocky relationship with my computer.
