My Teacher Loves Me

Thank the Gods for corzican and vadania for their help last night. They still have not managed to knock the sanity back in to me, even though I know they prefer me the way I am, but they did manage to stay up through all hours of the night combing journal databases for research material. corzican managed to come across some interesting finds, so I think he's going to start volunteering to be my research monkey (his words, not mine) for a while. I may just send him on random treasure hunts because he really did manage to come across some interesting things during the search.

I went in with tail between the legs for my one-on-one meeting with the teacher since I'm still not up to snuff on my paper for turning it in today. I'm horribly ashamed that I didn't buckle down and stay on top of it during the past couple of weeks. Ditto my company taxes, but that's for another paragraph/post of self-hate.

Summary for purposes of posting:
me: I'm still just as distraught about my paper today as I was last Wednesday.
teach: So what's up.
me: I've been for the most part able to recreate what I had worked on Wednesday night that was lost. And I've complete redefined the general problem of the paper so that it's now more coherent instead of up in the air.
teach: Oh, good. Yeah that's really good that you were able to do that. So how about we move your one-on-one meeting to next Tuesday, and if you could just make sure you have it emailed to me by Sunday so that I will have time to read over it, would that work?
me: o_O
me: ...
me: {no really....o_O}
me: um, yeah, that'll work just fine
me: {resists urge to hump the teacher's leg}

So now, I've now had an hour to procure a caramel machiatto and some bit of a muffin as sustenance to make it through the next couple of hours. I have to run by Best Buy and purchase a new printer since mine has decided to jam in a manner that even teh intarwebs can't help. It's probably still salvageable, but I've had it for many years and I really would like to have a scanner as well. Then off to gather lunches for people. Then home to work on taxes. Then to stand in a long ass line at a post office to get my taxes mailed. Then, then, shit, I don't know. I got 1.5 hours of sleep last night, so brain no worky. It go kaput.

Off to class.

Printer

Someone please explain to me why the fuck new printers do not come with usb cables.

Who the hell thought this would be a good idea????

Oh yeah - New Printer Squee

I don't like that it's not black or at least the dark charcoal gray, but I screwed around with everything else there and this is the best one for removing paper jams, easy access to ink cartridges and paper trays, and a sleek enough design that makes it easy to dust. As though I might regularly dust it or something.
