Oh, My, Goodness… I swear to you that these people must be the densest, stupidest people I’ve come across in a LONG time… If you’ve known me for any length of time, I’m sure you’ve heard me say “I hate stupid people”… so imagine now what kind of living Hades I’m in right now…

I’m up in the computer lab where the printer has been broken all day long. We’ve posted signs on every door and two up here at the desk that say “Printer is broken”… people have been coming up here for 3 hours now, standing and waiting, getting impatient and finally asking me, “when are my printouts gonna print?” I don’t even look at them now, just point casually to the sign that’s about SIX INCHES IN FRONT OF THEIR FACE. I really really wanted to make up signs that say like “print-y no work-y” in lots of ways and hand them out to people and say “here’s your sign”… I think that would get me in trouble… Instead I got online and translated the phrase “printer not working” into every language I could including Korean… I then supplimented those signs with signs like, “printer is dead (long live the printer)” and “This printer is no more… it has ceased to be.” I also added a phonetically spelled out version and some more obsure versions like “Harvey Ladder Shoe?” ((I’ll buy dinner for anyone who can tell me where that comes from.))

Oh yeah… one other minor detail… the entire time, I have taken the printer apart and have all the pieces layed out on the desk so I can work on it… This has led to more problems because I can’t help but make snide remarks to people who are so stupid as to ask me if the printer is broke when I’m holding misc. parts in my hands working on them… I’ve said things like, “no, I just took it apart to annoy you”… “no, can’t you see it’s working…” “in case printer is broken, there will be signs here, here, here, here, and here”…

and then they ask me, “how long before you fix it?” this has caused me much grief, too… I’ve said things like, “I don’t know… go away and come back later”, “never, if i can help it”, “sometime next week”, and my personal favorite, “as soon as you leave”

Overall, I’ve been called a smart@$$ three times today along with some other, more creative, terms… not bad for a single day’s work.
