sofiavioletSomebody who has any idea, please tell me: is it normal for the transcript of 30 minutes of conversation to take up 17 pages, single-spaced?
Srsly. My stapler choked; the squishy bit of my hand between my thumb and wrist feels bruised from trying to driver staples through that mess. I had to steal paper from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zachens's printer twice, because the first time, I didn't take enough.
Also,susanandleonard, maybe you want to stick with your old printer. Mine claims its black ink cartridge is at least half full, yet it's printing text in greyscale and leaving off the tops of words. Even after cleaning the cartridges with the little printer utility. Whereas zachens's printer (same exact one, except for serial number, and also it has a different color usb cable) just refused to print. It would let me check the ink levels, but if I sent an actual print request, the connection just wasn't there. I did all the dead chicken waving I could think of: I tried his cable, unplugged it and plugged it back in, then tried my cable. No dice. (Although now I'm thinking I should have tried turning his printer off and then on again.)
Whatever. I have class in an hour and twenty and I am actually in possession of everything I need to keep on passing linguistics, and at least I haven't put my fist through any electronics this morning.
Yet. There's still time, because today is comp sci.
ETA: Yeah, for some reason, my computer in the lab has decided I don't have permission to access Firefox, so I'm stuck with IE. I'd be willing to bet this problem extends to other programs I'm actually required to use over the course of the semester. Gah.
Also, our little Excel experiment about savings has me worried. I need an account I can't raid at random.
ETA 2, because I'm trying not to spam: The mouse attached to my lab computer is very "sticky," not in terms of the mouse itself, but in terms of how the cursor behaves on the screen. Note to self: bring kleenex to next class, clean ball and internal bits.
