Day #3 at work: I was testing out a printer problem for a user and kept running to the printer to see if the problem was resolved. I had opened up Word and typed “This is a test,” hit Print and went to the printer. Nothing happened. It didn’t work. So I hit print again and ran to the printer. Nope. Nada. After the fourth trip back and forth to the printer, I re-edited the document and went on another futile quest. No test printout. So I get back to the IT dept and my coworkers are laughing. (Not a strange thing for them to do, they’re quite merry.)
Right next to my desk is my test printout. What the… how did the print get here when it should be over there at the printer? One of the girls dropped it by. Huh? I didn’t pass anyone. Confusion. And how did they know where it goes? The albatross brought it I was told as they giggle at my befuddled visage. Of course the reason nothing printed was because I kept going to the wrong printer. So someone seemed to have read it where it spit out and realized who printed it and they brought it to me.
The print read: “This is a test of the emergency printing system. Had this been an actual emergency you would have been notified by a large flatulent albatross…”
Games up! On Day #3 everyone knew who had printed that. I’m freaking doomed.
Oh yeah, in case you missed it I have a job. I work at the same place Darci does (she got me the interview - THANKS again) as a PC Technician in their IT dept. I get to work with some great people and they all keep assuring me I get paid too, so it’s all good. M-F, day shift + weekends off = happy Vin. *sigh*
Excuse me I have to go to sleep now, have a good week everyone!!! ZzzZZZzzzz…
