Pay people in clacks for tutoring?
Or I'll just tutor you for free lol.

But I'll probably yell the whole time.
IT'S THE QUADRATIC FORMULA
JUST SING POP GOES THE WEASEL!

So maybe it's worth the payment for someone else to do it... o_o

I am panically relearning to General American but have no clacks to pay for tuition :(
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Why can't I just pay someone clacks so I don't have to take these classes

I'll take that option

I wonder what the Clack to Completed Required Courses is at the moment.

Agreed. My 3D printer has been easier to set up and maintain than my regular printer. Why the hell would they make them so complicated?

Seriously. I got a new router and this stupid thing will not connect to it. I want to throw it out the window. I've been trying to get this to work for over an hour. There are very few things that will truly make me lose my patience quickly. Working on a printer is one of them.

Printers are the worst, especially those that are wireless but connect to the Internet at home. Do they even make wireless printers that don't connect via Internet?
It's a Canon, and it never worked. Always got disconnected and our print jobs wouldn't go through. We've had to print stuff using the ol' USB cable; I've taken a picture of it and will put it up on Craigslist for free. Not even worth the hassle of trying to get a few bucks off of it.

It's not just the setup either, but maintaining it is a ***** and a half to deal with too. Low ink when you put a brand new $5000 cartridge in, paper jams, random erros, the list just goes on and on and on. Then you have ridiculous ink prices, and it just sounds like some sort of fiendish torture device when paired with the other things...

Legit! I needed new toner, and Staples was trying to sell it to me for $100. Yah, okay, how about you take that toner and go screw yourself. The printer didn't cost that much. I got off brand on Amazon for like $12. Ink is even worse. Good lord, don't get me started on ink.

Sales departments are the worst. The second you don't do exactly what they ask for they start throwing around how the company won't run with out Sales and how they bring in the money and this is revenue impacting and blah, blah, ****ing blah. They are also the most technically inept department which makes it even more frustrating.

Sorry Sales guys. I love you, but your department sucks for IT people.

In general, I agree with you. But I had to print out a shipping label ASAP, and just getting the label created was a pain in the ass. International shipping is not my friend. It was insult to injury that the damn thing then wouldn't print. I ended up giving up on the wireless config and just went wired. I'll try again tonight.

Thank you all for commiserating with me. Printers are my weakness. All my technical skills fly out the window with their software requirements and jacked up drivers. It just infuriates me.
It's not just the setup either, but maintaining it is a ***** and a half to deal with too. Low ink when you put a brand new $5000 cartridge in, paper jams, random erros, the list just goes on and on and on. Then you have ridiculous ink prices, and it just sounds like some sort of fiendish torture device when paired with the other things...
Legit! I needed new toner, and Staples was trying to sell it to me for $100. Yah, okay, how about you take that toner and go screw yourself. The printer didn't cost that much. I got off brand on Amazon for like $12. Ink is even worse. Good lord, don't get me started on ink.

Always print @ work.. never @ home..

What are you guys printing @ home.  I use the printer once a year maybe..
In general, I agree with you. But I had to print out a shipping label ASAP, and just getting the label created was a pain in the ass. International shipping is not my friend. It was insult to injury that the damn thing then wouldn't print. I ended up giving up on the wireless config and just went wired. I'll try again tonight.

Its fun hacking printers.

They are so easy to get into and you can cause so much mayhem with them.

I agree, hacking them is fun. HOWEVER, working on them is not. Not at all.

Printers are the bane of my existence.

Nothing worse than dealing with printers all day, then coming home to have to deal with a printer at home too.  :'( :'( :'(

You get me.  :-*

As someone who works in IT, I can tell you with absolute certainty that all printers are manufactured in Hell and sent to earth to torture us for our sins.

I hate printers.

I have a tendency to fix things that are broken when I see them, rather than pretend I didn't notice and leave it for someone else.

This results in me fixing the printer frequently, as I just "happen" to be the person to discover an issue.

Now people are joking (playfully) about me having a reputation of breaking the printer.

-_-

If they were serious, I would be bothered.  But maybe there are people that do think I break it...?  :confused:

When I started working were I am now I was responsible for on site printer support (among other things). We had this one copier up in Marketing, which was located in another building from where my "workspace" was. They would break that thing like 5 times a day. It was the most frustrating thing. They would constantly load the paper wrong, jam the thing up, once someone tried to fix it and took it all apart and then just walked away. We were constantly asking who was doing these things, because it after a while it seemed like it was on purpose. But no one would fess up. We posted signs about how to use it. Not to touch it. How to load paper and none of it did any good. I was very happy when I moved away from supporting the printers. I legit think there was someone that just enjoyed me schlepping up there, on the floor for an hour in my heels covered in toner and paper cuts.

tl;dr - from all people in IT, thank you for being smart enough to handle things.

I get to act as the unofficial IT person at my office, mainly because I am the youngest male here and no one else wants to do it.  Because of that, I end up fixing computers, monitors, scanners, printers etc. all the time which I don't really mind during the off season because it gives me work to do, but here we are in the middle of tax season and I just spent 2 1/2 of the 3 hours I blocked out to catch up on the ~20 tax returns I have outstanding working on  fixing printers and scanners. 

Printers are definitely the worst, but scanners are steadily climbing the ladder of Most Hated Elecctronic Device here at the office.

I missed a lot of drama this week...
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?
