The Printer and the Problems

One more day has passed today and I’m sitting here in the borrowed cubicle on a borrowed PC and listening to radio on MY CELLPHONE. The day was almost eventless except for 3 pages of printout where the printer started to act up and demand special paper.

I don’t know if this was the fault of “Adobe Acrobat Reader®” or the Printer Driver or “HP LaserJet 8100 series PCL6” but the document I was trying to print got stuck and would not get printed.

The printer demanded that special size paper be inserted from the manual loading tray to start the printing. Thankfully a few key strokes later (actually buttons on the printer console) I managed to force the printer to print on the A4 (standard) sheets.

After I got the printout I’m still wondering why that printer was shouting for paper of different size when the job could be done on the paper already present in the tray.

Today I have to go to my supervisor to try and get myself a PC, and I just hope that they give me a new PC with at least minimalist configuration (P4 2.4 GHz+ with at least 512 RAM). Actually I would love to have a PC with 1 G or RAM and Dual Core Processors (HT will also do fine ;)).

So much for the Office part! I actually forgot that I have a three day weekend (remember Gandhi) and most probably Wednesday will also be a Holiday (yippee!). Why? Because some fools in Karnataka have called for a “Bandh” and thus no public transport (yeah Baby!), that means almost all the companies will be down on their knees while they wait for the Bandh to finish.

But alas, in lieu of the Wednesday off I’ll have to come to work on Saturday! Sucks man! There are times when a man is tired (Psychologically, if not physically or mentally), Saturday makes a person feel tired and makes him want to sleep and do things he normally doesn’t do. It’s a natural response to the Week gone by, when a guy sits down and contemplates what he did in the week and tries to find out better ways to pass time and Better excuses for all the misdeeds ;).

Will be back on Tuesday
