long sigh

yes, indeed, that's so
it's a heavy sigh
and in small intervals.

why?
why on earth am i panting
and complaining and moaning and groaning?

because we keep trying to reinvent the wheel, folks.

yes.  a  lot of times in art, go for it.
keep it fresh
liven things up
put a new twist on things.

but if something works
keep it!
don't migrate to a different continent
pick up the who's and what's over there
and mold it into a frustrating experience.

what on earth am i mumbling about anyway?
printing.
stupid printer.

i'm house sitting, for a dear family friend.
and in the process, thought i'd catch up on some school work.
i am in college you know, so having access to a printer
is key.

file>print.
print print print print print print
stop.
load the paper!
walk over.
load it to the normal  'load-er-in' area.
'sorry. that's not it! try again!'
err.
load it in again.
'sorry. that's not it! try again'

maybe if i look at the printer icon its flashing
on my computer screen that will help with where the paper belongs.
'load it into the cassete'
oh. alright. now we're talking about music.
perfect.

looking
looking
looking

10 minutes later
frustration has seeped into my blood stream
and i have successfully dismanteled every section
of said printer.
still no luck.

manual download time.
'load it into the cassette.'
'it's in the bottom'
'way bottom'

ahhh.
thats right.
no printer on the face of this earth
works that way.

congradulations mankind
you have officially angered me
in your attempt to create a 'nice design'


i'm not sure if i'm more frustrated at the reinventing of the wheel
and the awful design of this printer
or if im more frustrated with myself
and how impatient
our society has made me.
