Agitation leads to disaster.
« on: November 24, 2008, 12:38:40 PM »
Mrs GROWLER informed me that Mini Moose tried to use the printer last night, and it threw up an error on the screen.
I immediately rremebered that a scrw fell off the shelf recently, and fell down the paper feed slot.
Disconnected it this morning, and promptly turned it upside down and shook it to remove said screw.
Bird brain here though didn't think to take the ink cartridges out first though, did he? noooo:

The mess all over the desk, papers, carpet and chair, not to mention my kecks is going to take some explaining I fear.
Took it outside, and it's dripped all over the hall carpet, and the path now looks like it's had a supertanker disaster on it.

Basically, i'm agitated and in deep shit. whistle:

Be a real man ~ blame the child and buy a new printer (£29.99) in Staples)

The mess was made because she gubbed the printer and you had to carry it out of the house to get rid of it ~ therefore the mess is her fault as well.

Buy yourself a cake whilst you are out getting a printer.

Don't think I'll need to tell her tbh DS.
The place looks like a war zone now, and scrubbing it is just making it werser.

Bit nippy for a night in the doghouse too. ::)

Almost past caring now though. what's done is done. The carpets were shite anyway.
Bloody printer STILL not werkin' properly though. Telling me I'm out of black ink when I can hear it sloshing 'round inside the cartridge. confused:

No. Ink removal lessons would be more helpful tbh.

My kecks actually look quite trendy now, with ink drips and spots all over them. Sort of a happy hippy 60's look about them like. happy088

Goin' the chippy for a pie. Wonder what can go wrong? ::)
