Today has been interesting so far. I did my normal routine of cleaning this morning. After I finished most of that I decided I'd tackle the printer. My printer has been out of order for a while now, due to the ink being low. Hub has been asking for a while now if I had it geared up yet because he wanted me to print some resumes off . Normally everything would go OK but of course this morning everything went wrong. I replaced the ink but the darn printer wouldn't print a document. I checked all the settings. Checked to see if the puter was even recognizing my printer and checked the ink cartridges. Everything appeared fine, yet it still would not print. I disconnected everything and decided to try to uninstalled and reinstall the software. Did all that and again the damn thing wouldn't print. I again checked the ink to make sure that the settings were right and to see if there was ink in all the cartridges,checked the port , everything was fine. I did 3 test prints, still nothing on the paper. I did notice when I checked the newest cartridge that it appeared like ink was going somewhere but it wasn't on the paper. Hub kept coming upstairs again and again asking how I was doing and with each passing minute I was getting more aggravated with the damn thing. I decided I'd try to set the damn printer up on my laptop, so down the stairs I come, with everything in hand. I installed the software, made sure all connections were correct and connected and checked again to make sure the settings were correct. The damn thing still wouldn't print a document of any kind.. I went back into preferences and did some more investigating. I went into the settings for the ink again. I noticed yet again the black ink was going somewhere but it wasn't on the paper. At this point I was getting even more annoyed and I said to hub, its the printer, it has to be. He just looked at me and told me to leave it alone but I can't leave anything alone until I know what the freaking problem is. Thats just my nature and I told him it was no different than him working on a vehicle. I disconnected the printer and had a look inside. Sure enough the ink was going somewhere it was spraying out towards the sides. WHY, I have no idea but I would assume it's fucked. Hub did take it apart and wanted me to set it up again. I have all the software uninstalled and I'm not hooking it up to my laptop again because right now after two and a half hours I'm a tad annoyed. Freaking printers, they don't last worth shit .This will be my third printer I've gone through in 5 years. Someone tell me, is that normal?? I said to hub the next one I buy is going to be the cheapest one there , because none of them are any good.

Hubs oil rig seminar went really well although I'm not sure now what he is going to do. He said the pipes are really heavy and if your not really careful someone can get killed in an instant. Hmmmm just what I needed to hear. My daddy was here last night and hub did tell him he was thinking about going out west. My daddy agreed with him and said he didn't blame him. That shocked the shit out of me because I thought my daddy would be upset. So right now I don't know what is going on. Hub never really said anything about it today. He plans on sending a resume into the Michelin plant here but I know he won't get in. I find that company is such a shit company and they are so freaking fussy. I swear to god they only want dumb people working there because anyone with brains they will not hire. This place sucks so bad for finding work. The only option one has is call centers or the tire plant .

Gram is in a mood. She's not eating again and complaining about her bowels. Sometimes I wonder if it will ever end... I hate to say this but there are days that I can't be bothered to argue with her. There is no point to it because she doesn't listen and I'm to a point that I wonder why I even care anymore. She doesn't, why should I?

I need sleep. My daddy is going through the same thing as I am with this not sleeping. He said he roughly gets an hour or two in if hes lucky. Sounds exactly like me. Thats why I have this feeling in runs in the family
