dchenesThis afternoon the copier decided it had Had Enough (after two days of nearly constant operation), and proceeded to jam so hard we had to call a technician to get it unjammed. This was after it decided it was out of toner. Replacing the toner of course resulted in a not-quite-minor toner cartridge explosion; fortunately I was not wearing a light-colored shirt, and I only got my hand and the copier's innards, mostly.
In other "technology hates me" news, my TV has developed an inch-wide colored stripe (generally either yellow or purple) right down the middle of the screen. That means it needs repair, and getting it repaired probably means I have to take it to Brookline, and the damn thing is HEAVY. (That's Argument 1 in favor of getting a small flat screen TV, except that Argument 1 against consists of the word "budget" and is extremely compelling.)
Isn't technology wonderful, except when it isn't?
