Today is the day my printer finally betrayed me. It served me well for a year and a half, quietly and dutifully completing its work. Or dutifully anyway. Sometimes the cartridge would jam and then clack angrily back and forth. If every once in awhile it got a bit greedy and nommed five sheets of paper at once, well, who was I to scold it too harshly? Have I not done the same thing with cookies? But all along, treachery lurked in its tiny mechanical heart. Today it decided that it was sick of working and preferred the easy life. Today it decided that it would simply refuse to power on, no matter how loudly I cursed or how hard I mashed the button.

This weekend it gets kicked to the curb in favor of printers that do their job. It's a gadget-eat-gadget world out there, no room for slackers. My judgment is final and merciless.

(Thing I hate most about winter: my feet will not be properly warm again until May. *longsuffering sigh*)

Also, the bit about cookies made me laugh. &Daisy;

It should have known this would be the tragic result. *shakes head sadly*
