Printer Doctor

It's 7:15 pm and I'm still at work. Granted, writing in my blog is not work, but I was working until only a few moments ago.

Anyway, the main reason I'm still at work - besides the circuitous annual appeal meeting that was held..

Wait, I need to take a moment and explain this meeting. Our organization is planning a new strategy for the end-of-the-year plea for funds that will be mailed out in about a month or so. This strategy has gone through many iterations, and I believe we made a final decision today. However, in one two-hour meeting we meandered from point A to B (a straight line metaphysical distance of about one block) along the scenic route with a length of 300 miles! 300 miles of discussion to arrive one block away. That sums up a lot of meetings.

Back to the original point of this post: I have become a Printer Doctor. I can diagnose and treat the problems and complaints of printers. Our high-volume, high-speed printer is chronically jammed (which I can fix) but also a bit of a hypochondriac. The problem is that I don't know how to cure a hypochondriacal printer. You see, it thinks it's jammed and/or out of ink even when it isn't. But it takes a lot of printer "hand holding" to get it over each crisis. Very time consuming, you see.

I've been holding my printer's hand, and that's why I'm still at work at 7:15 pm.
