stuck in printer hell!



after years of stupid purchases and procuring ill made devices I feel like a participant in sites like these, damn, can't they do a little better job in the construction of these disposable carcasses....so maybe they aren't quite so disposable?

some days i just cannot believe how long and difficult some things can be. For instance, I started trying to print a brochure on a new printer at 7 this morning, after a DAY full of unfruitful communication I am wiped out. I find it supremely frustrating.......this printer cannot print a rather simple document and retain all 4 borders, just too big a job for it? SEVERAL of these hours were spent with tech support from both apple and hp. each one claiming it was a problem with the software or an ill calibrated printer, depending on their prevailing interest, Jeez, I just don't have limitless time and my patience is pretty finite, too.

so how is that for a voice long quiet?

crazy busy as I begin to get a grasp on the calendar, sure would be nice if things could run a little smoother than today!!!!

I had a lovely time in Texas, if any of you see this~ thank you, it is a great thing to be able to touch down and in a rather brief time frame feel a sweet connection to the people.... and......we made beautiful things! Thanks Molly!!!
