one more to go
last exam today at 11:30. not quite prepared as I not really sure what I could do to prepare. Anyway, I’ve been pushing myself to the max this week, passed out after dinner (didn’t get any sleep last night, was studying and finishing the last assignment). I kinda just left the dishes where it was. I woke up around midnight. Went downstairs to get something to drink. The dishes are still where I left them, and added were stuff my sis used….ar thanks sis for your "support" in this busy week of mine. …so anyway, cleaned up the stuff, got my coffee and coke and headed back upstairs. My sis has been leaving her stuff inthe sink unwashed for a while now….it just seems wrong as mother taught us better than to leave things around, I clean up after myself after every meal (unless I go unconscious).
Anyway, beside not getting any sleep, today’s additional task took a bit out of me too. Stupid inkject printer decided to be out of ink….just before my last open book exam when I need to do a lot of print outs. Damn ink cost $70 for a 2 pack, and $40 for single. So I decide to say fuck it, if I bought another it’ll be the 5th, the cost is just unjustified. This is why I had to buy a new printer today. So after the VBA exam on thursday, I headed to the local shops to compare prices. I wasn’t too picky, I simply want something that can print and that’s it. I ended up getting a laser printer that cost around $99. The good thing, finally, a printer that auto feeds without worrying about paper jam. The stupid old print always jams when I put a stack of paper in, so I had to hand feed it page by page,…so very lame. The new laser printer is rather simple, it’s just a printer and nothing else. It would be cooler if I got a 4 in 1 that has fax. (I like to use fax to annoy telemarketers, give them an ear full of noise) Anyhow, with the new printer, I obviously had to tidy up the war room a bit to make space for it. My study looks rather tidied now, and all the clean up is what made this afternoon so tiring.
Something I hate about the printer is the setup procedure. You have to start the driver installation half way, plug the usb in, then let it continue, how stupid is that? It totally doesn’t make sense. The correct procedure for any hardware device should be.
1. Plug it in
2. windows can’t find the driver
3. shove the driver cd in
4. installation done
That’s how every hardware should be handled! Take note manufacturers(especially brother brand) Your stupid installation guide on the cd is pretty useless, that animation is crap, it’s too smaller on screen to actually describe any details. ….how should it be then? See the 4 steps I just wrote above.
The sales service at the local CanadaComputer has gone back to it’s crapiness. The salesboy doesn’t know crap about the product. When I ask him what kind of paper does the printer use, he said "what do you mean? any paper will do, paper is paper". Man…how god damn ignorant. If you have even a slight knowledge about printing, you know the type of paper makes a lot of difference. This is probably the kind of guy who will tell you to get DDR2 when your system only supports DDR. Stupid little punk. He should get his hair fixed too, you are at work, gotta look professional.
