in which i rant a little and get my bitch on
a. the boss' favorite tech person came to look at the printer. he says the problem is with the computer which is shockingly low on ram, and we need to install more. so tomorrow when the boss gets back i guess he'll order more ram. in the meantime the printer has been behaving. i think it's possessed. but i'll get a faster computer out of the deal, which is always nice.
b. i asked the aforementioned tech person how i could get the computer to remember what printer it had last printed to, so i didn't have to keep checking to make sure i was printing color pages to the color printer and then resetting the printer, because it is a pain in my ass. he said the computer doesn't generally remember what printer it last printed to, and it always goes back to the default. and i said well, yesterday and tuesday and monday when i was printing a lot of sets of color pages, it remembered between printings - and across applications - which printer it printed to last. the tech guy didn't seem to believe me. i was kind of pissed. do not stand there and tell me that, essentially, i don't know what i'm talking about, and the computer always goes back to the default printer between print jobs, not after i've just spent ten minutes explaining that until this morning, the computer remembered the last printer it printed to. this is why i end up with half a page of floor plan, because it's an 11" x 17" page printing on the 8.5" x 11" printer, because the last thing i printed was a letter so the computer thinks it's printing to the little laser printer now.
so. yeah. not impressed. maybe your computer doesn't remember which printer it just printed to, but mine does, or at least it used to. please accept that i might actually be telling you the truth and maybe my computer is just that fucked up and speshul, and yes, i do know what i'm talking about this time. just because you're getting paid to tell me what's wrong with the color printer does not mean you have the first fucking clue what was going on with my computer yesterday, and how that's different from what it was doing today.
c. it is entirely possible that those of you who missed the post about my uncle getting hit by a car missed it because it never showed up on your flists, because every so often lj eats a post so it never makes it to some of the folks who would normally see it.
d. it has not been my week and i would like it to be next thursday already, because i will take two dramamine and listen to heinrich and not have to stop and change planes until i get to la. and then someone else can worry about things going wrong and all this shit will be behind me.
e. this is the truth - i can't even find it in myself to give a shit that the supernatural season premier is on tonight. and am i the only spoiler-avoidant person who includes episode titles among the things that must not be leaked ahead of time? props to everyone who downloaded the premier from itunes, watched, posted, and used the handy-dandy cut-tag to spare those of us who haven't seen it yet, but hey, person who posted on spn_heavymeta? thanks for warning us that meta about 3x01 contains spoilers for 3x01, but episode titles count as spoilers for some people too. especially episode titles in big, bold, underlined text. you sure you don't want to edit it to fix the color too?
