I have been working on a grant for the new center. Today I was very excited because I was going to be able to work on it at 3:30 rather than around 4:45 like usual. Woo-how! Extra time!
I sat down at the computer, typed a little bit and went to print out a section.
“Ink very low.”
Dang it.
I ran up to the classroom to get my keys and wallet…..er, where’s my wallet?
Dang it.
I drove home carefully for my wallet…..um, where’s my wallet?
Dang it.
I grabbed three twenty dollar bills and drove carefully to Wal*Mart. I looked for a combination of black and color cartridges that I could buy with my $60. I rung it up at the register and discovered I didn’t account for tax. The total? $60.97.
Dang it.
Thank you, emergency truck dollar.
I drove back to work carefully, loaded up the cartridge and did all the alignment nonsense and printed out that section….. at 4:45.
Dang it.

Heh. I like how you carefully type the asterisk into Walmart. I don’t know anyone else who does that. Except for Lloyd, who in addition to the asterisk also includes the trademark symbol.

Dang it.

Lol, well join the crowd except I am not as busy as you are. Glad to know there are others.
