The Lair

I’m printing out the Chilean’s thesis and getting it bound and sending it onto his assessor and doing sundry other things that the university requires. So, he sends me a nicely formatted PDF from Chile this morning and I need to get it printed.

The printer I’m using supposedly does 60 pages per minute. I waited all day so I didn’t clog up the printer during daytime and then unloaded a massive 200 page hit on the printer 10 minutes ago. Walking casually upto the printer and checking, I see that it’s only done 80 pages (a staggering 8 pages per minute). Ummm.. err.

And now there’s a queue of people forming to pick up other stuff sent to the printer. So, what do I do ? Well, it’s not my name on that document, so I quietly slink back to my seat and pretend that nothing happened. Oh, and even better.. this fantastic printer has managed to absorb all the documents sent by folk into memory - so that they’re no longer shown in the printer queue. HP printers - good with memory, really bad at printing fast.

Printer ? what printer ? Lalalalalalala, I can’t hear you.
