All was going well today until about 5 p.m. We had had a few power flashes due to aftermath of yesterday's tornado warning and storm. The power was off for a few minutes, but nothing more. Phones were all working. All was well.
And then it happened. The technology meltdown. In the space of 2 minutes our always reliable printer/copier/fax/scanner decided to malfunction. No power failure just a mini failure of an otherwise reliable piece of equipment. On any given day this would not be noteworthy.
But, today was not a usual day. Today we needed the printer to be functional. My daughter is trying out for her high school volleyball team tomorrow afternoon. She has worked for the last 4 years to get ready for this tryout.
Why oh why does technology always fail when needed most?? Every sheet of paper that came out of the printer was mangled beyond belief. I needed to copy her medical form and her registration form. I could not send in the mangled sheets
I unplugged the printer. Waited a second or two, to pull out the most mangled of sheets. Once the sheet was out, I started the printer up again. This time technology was on my side. Who knows why, but I was not complaining about a perfectly flat piece of paper flying out of the printer.
Is it me or does technology fail you when you need it most??
When not railing against technology, Jill is crossing her fingers that her blog does not break.
