alexpgpThe HP DeskJet printer appears to have some kind of nervous disorder, as it is nearly impossible to print two documents on it in a row without having to either recycle the power or send a job or two in its direction for the express purpose of canceling them, which occasionally accomplishes the indirect goal of resetting the unit.
In other printer news, the replacement toner cartridge I bought last year for the Epson ActionLaser appears to have a defect on the drum, which prevents solid black areas from printing properly. It's still usable. Sort of. And better remain that way for a while, too.
In any event, it comes down to this: All three printers are working at sub-optimal levels.
I am so-o-o happy.
* * * I went downtown today to renew my S&R ticket, and was surprised to find that my name was not on the list of people to be renewed. The problem has since been fixed, so either I or Drew can stop by and pick up the ID.
I also got myself fingerprinted and sent paperwork to the CBI for a concealed weapons permit, as a number of folks who have done S&R say that it's generally not a bad idea, when working in the woods, to be armed. Law enforcement would add that, when armed, it's generally not a bad idea to have a concealed weapons permit, so as not to fall afoul of the law on a technicality (e.g., you put on a jacket, which covers your up-to-now openly holstered pistol, which turns it into a concealed weapon, which is a bona fide Bad Thing™ to have on your person without a permit to carry same). I have been told there is a 6-8 week processing cycle.
* * * Healthwise, I teetered on the edge of normalcy today. Aside from some tenderness around my nostrils (failure to use the "gentle" nose wipes) and a couple of involuntary coughs, I felt pretty good. (Wish I could say the same for Sasha, whom I dosed with Valium this morning... she's still loopy.)
I even managed to get three invoices off today, and got started on the next job, which is due on Monday morning, without feeling a tinge of fatigue. One thing is for sure, I've spent more than my fair share of time in front of a computer screen today, so I'm off to do something else for a while.
Cheers...
