Re: what a Monday!!!

[ Edited ]

@wagirl I am so sorry! What a terrible Monday...Here's hoping the rest of your week goes smoothly.

 

Something surely was in the air yesterday. I received an unexpected document that I needed to get to my tax preparer immediately because this was the first and only time I'd filed this early. Naturally, my printer would not print. I drove it over to his office (no time to make a copy elsewhere) and he said no problem on not having a copy, I'll return it to you. Smiley SurprisedFingers crossed.

Well, I don't want your Canon.    That's what I just bought.    I don't print much, except receipts for tax purposes.  Ya know..."print page".    The miserable piece of junk prints fine....HALF the time.    

 

Then for some unknown reason, I will get a msg on it's tiny one square inch screen, giving me unintelligible "instructions"...    I have to get out my Sherlock magnifier, and a flashlight just to TRY reading the mumbo-jumbo.   I SHUT THE THING DOWN AND GIVE UP...

 

Then, the next time I use it...it prints just fine.   I guess it has "mood swings".  di

Does anyone remember that hilarious scene in the movie Office Space when they drop kick and beat a printer machine out in a field? I love that scene  🤣. 

 @wagirl  You are a great storyteller!! Between the possessed printer and the coffee table on its last legs, that is one heck of a Monday!! I hope that Tuesday will be relaxing and fun for you.  Let that printer know that you're the boss! 😉🙌

@Desertdi.  You would get a menopausal printer.

My shoulder is ready to be on loan to you @wagirl ! Years ago I had an issue with my portable printer, it was ongoing and I swear it was possessed. DH came home one night and it was sitting in the bottom of the pool, he came in and said "Let's go to Best Buy." 


@We rescue cats  It must've felt so liberating to throw that frustrating portable printer into the swimming pool! You go girl! 😁🙌💯

Just what I need...I already have a couple of new menopausal neighbors.   Trouble is....they are both MALE.  (Felix & Oscar).  di

Ours is always informing us that it is low on ink.  Even when we just put in a new cartridge.  They lie to you too.

I'm sure we will owe money so I don't really care if our taxes get done or not? I'm not doing them. DH can do what he wants. I told him I'm sick of paying taxes while others don't.

@Teddixat --this printer has always been a pain in the caboose---only had it 3 years or so, but it has an evil mind of it's own. DD gets so frustrated with it ---will NOT print from her phone unless she is physically in the room and then ----mayb not even then. I have gone thru the app  in settings 8,000 times to try to get it to behave--just had to unplug it and let it rest---grrrrrrr!!!
