Just when I began feeling on top of the world again because I finished most of my 2 Moral Projects and there's not much other homework to do, I have to be ticked off again.

This time by my printer, who is acting up again just when I had thought I'd fixed the problem (albeit temporarily).

The story of my printer is a sad one.

I bought my little printer early last year at PC Fair I. I bought him a companion too. His name was CISS (Continuous Ink Supply System).

For a time, things were good. CISS had a few problems trying to fit in nicely with Printer. CISS couldn't fold the tubes away nicely while Printer wouldn't stop getting in the way and jamming it. In the end a compromise was made, and all was well again.

We had many great moments together. We printed documents and pictures galore. The shining moment was when we printed 300 pages of Bioshock artwork, and every one of them was perfect.

Until one day when I came back and found that Printer had choked on a piece of paper. Badly. And although I managed to pull it out of him, he was never the same again.

He would print almost perfectly normal except for a few lines that would inevitably get screwed.

Nothing I did could fix the problem. Countless printer head cleanings, printer head alignments and finger crossing could make Printer the same again.

......

I cannot help but feel that my mom is responsible for Printer's demise loh. After all, she was the one using Printer in my absence in school and somehow got the paper jammed in so tightly. That also I cannot understand how it would happen since I aligned the paper feeder to fit A4 paper perfectly.

I know my mom didn't mean to harm Printer lah, but sometimes I get a bit ruffled by what I consider a lack of sensitivity when dealing with modern electronics. How would Printer be compromised if proper care had been taken? Heck the only way he could have been compromised is by sheer negligence for his safety and care.

Now I need to print my Moral Project photos, but I can't anymore. And it's due Wednesday.

Sigh...Please get well soon Printer.
