Steve: Holy crap
Steve: That stapler was totally smarter than I am
me: uuuummmmm?
Steve: I have never before in my life needed a manual to operate a stapler
Steve: So it's got this button on top, right?
Steve: So I hit the button to see where the staple will land
Steve: and this shelf comes out.
Steve: So I pull out the shelf...oh, it's where the staples are loaded
Steve: So I put the shelf back where it was when I hit the button
Steve: and slide in my paper
Steve: and THUNK
Steve: ...nothing happens.
Steve: Well, maybe I was too fast. I do it again.
Steve: THUNK
Steve: nothing
Steve: Maybe I wasn't back far enough.
Steve: THUNK
Steve: nothing
Steve: Until the lab manager sees my struggles with the stapler and tells me to put the shelf back in. So apparently, I'm not even supposed to press a button with this damn stapler.
Bloomington was fun.... I'll write more when I have more time.
