3 paper jams, and 2 paper cuts. But I love my Mother, so I carried on with printing on the back side of scrap paper despite such obstacles. But more importantly, after clearing the second jam, as printing resumed, I thought to myself: Did somebody let a horse into the computer hub? Or did someone ride a horse over to school? But it was just the printer, giving off some weird but undeniably horsey smell. Why would a printer smell like a horse? I can only imagine the deal CUNY cut to buy these machines.
Meanwhile, I seem to have helped inspire a hateration fest against the Socrumormill over at Scatterplot. I don’t regret it. I promise myself this time it’s real, I’m quitting you Rumormill. I keep coming back to you with a forgiving heart and open expectations, and every time you leave me feeling bad about myself. No more. I’m getting my groove back and moving on.

You’re making me excited for next week, when I get to go back to work around a whole new set of printers that jam up when people try to be ‘green.’ Funsies!
You are a good sport. I have been reading with envy all of your vacation posts. Summer fun, I hardly knew ye! Do we still get to have lunch or did I miss the lunch boat? What’s your new non-commuting, tenure-track work schedule?
I’m actually really really good at removing printer jams. In fact, I’d say I have “the touch.” If I could get my newly-necessary second masters in Printer Dejamming, I’d be applying for life experience credits, f’real!
And get this: Lunchtime fun continues ALL YEAR LONG on Fridays. Do you work Fridays? Or are we having lunch on Fridays?
And finally–do you have access to the JT photo spread in this week’s New Yorker supplement, or should I save mine and use it as lunch bait?
Ooh, JT! I missed that! Lately, I seem to work all days, and all hours, but I am expecting that to ease up over the next week, and then let’s make a plan. I can’t wait to hear about your new co-workers and your new favorite outdoor spots for eating lunch.
