Printing Is The Devil, Part II

[batskeets]

So I dragged my ass out to Kinko's at noon today to try and make a nice printed mock-up of my revised Comm. Design project, and of COURSE, the whole business went horribly awry. The short version is: I wanted to print the project out such that two 8.5x11 pages would print side-by-side on an 11x17 sheet (in the same manner that the actual newsletter would be printed), and after getting handed off to like 3 different employees, the guy who actually *did* know what he was doing told me that I couldn't actually *do* that in Pagemaker, so I'd have to convert it to a PDF and bring to up to the counter.

By then, it was 12:50, and I had to be at work at 1p. And I also had to stand in line for another 15 minutes after that. And they couldn't even get it done until later in the afternoon, so I'll have to go *back* out there and get it after work and my last class. At 6pm! ::KICK::

I HATE PRINTING. It's like the printer/computer just looks at me says "Oh, you're not printing a Word document? YOU ARE FOREVER CURSED DIE STABBY STAB STAB!!!" And then it laughs maniacally in my face while I cry because it takes at least three times longer than it should have. ;_; And it does this in that bizarre voice they used for Speakable Items in MacOS, which totally freaks me out. Just out of spite, man.

In other news, I suddenly crave chocolate-flavoured soy milk. WHAT. The HELL? Welcome to Bizarro World. ::asdklfasdhlfhasdfklhasdkl::

Work is going by ultrafast, at least, and lunch helped counteract some of my incredibly crappy mood. Tonight = nap (hopefully), CIT HW, maybe work on my FLIS presentation and/or Gamex shite, watch Angel, and then I'm off to drive the Vomit Comet. Jeez, what a downer after my cool Tuesday. ;p

And I'm off like a dirty shirt. ::poof::

chocosoy!

Try this, using unsweetened soy milk and substituting sugar with Splenda:

It ices (you have to stir it, though) to make chocolatemilk, and in the mornings you can use coffee instead of water to make a mocha latte. I make this once or twice a week as a random protein booster in the mornings.

They're EVIL. I have stopped going there (and the last time I was there and they fucked up my prints, I just ran out of there without paying. :p That's what they get for being so shitty!). It's much cheaper to print at school for me, and they even provide the really nice fancy paper.

And yeah, they really don't seem to like Pagemaker at Kinko's. Bastards. *shakes fist*

The few times I went to Kinko's, it was only to run off photocopies on coloured paper, and it was *cheap*. So I like them for that.

I would have printed my project at the school, except that the first version that I printed in the Art Dept. labs didn't come out looking very good. The blues weren't nearly dark enough, and this was on the "GOOD" colour printer. x_x Some kid in my class got his project printed at Kinko's, and his colours turned out way better than mine, so I thought I should follow suit for the final. BLEH!

Don't be tricked! He's not a kid in your class, he's a Kinko's employee trying to persuade poor girls into using their evil business empire! EEEEEEEEEVIL. XD
