I am surrounded by idiots.
.PDFs? Shiny. I'll admit that. But they are SLOOOOW. And they print SLOOOOW. Especially on our old, decrepit network printers here.
Now, I do admit that everyone has a right to use the printers here. They need to as part of their job duties. But you know? Anytime I'm printing something and I realise it's taking longer than a few minutes, I cancel the job and resend it in short batches. It's only common courtesty.
So you can understand why I am ticked that there is a very large .PDF that has been tying up our printer since TEN THIRTY THIS MORNING, and the user has not canceled it.
I am even more ticked to see that he sent it to the queue TWICE. Likely because he wasn't getting his first copy fast enough.
I am LIVID because HE SENT IT TO EVERY FREAKING PRINTER ON THIS FLOOR. MULTIPLE TIMES. >:O!!!!
People are SUCH asshats. I am tempted to write him a scathing email (I can see his email address in the queue) and tell him that he's impairing the job functions of EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THIS FLOOR. I am also tempted to contact the help desk and see if they can delete his trash from the queues.
Because you know, I kind of need to print something. For work, even! It can wait until Monday, but it's easier to have a printout to work from.
Rude, I tell you. RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE.
In other news,
this vid is cool, in a very "that's creepy!" sort of way.
