The color copier at work sucks donkey
It won't hold a calibration for much more than 20 11x17 prints.
It gives us random goofy error codes that require 2 technicians to come out and rewire it. They claim it's because the outlet it's plugged into doesn't have a very good ground, but a specialist from their company came out and checked, and determined that the power going to it is fine. He says that it's probably because it has 1.75 million clicks on it -- he says it's worn out and on its last legs.
I have 80 posters to print out. If I tell it to run all 80 at once, half the prints will be too yellow. So I've spent the past half hour running 10 prints, then 10 more, let it sit for 10 minutes, repeat. The last 10 are printing now. The entire job should have taken about 7.5 minutes to run. Instead it's taking over 45 minutes.
Our boss told us yesterday that she's got approval to get us a new, faster machine from Brand X, if this one is deemed to be dead. I almost wish she hadn't told us, because now all I see are the faults of our current machine.
Oh, and in case you're wondering about Moron Boy, he's still here. He's still behaving like a dork. If I were to blog about every thing he does that irritates me or casts him in an unfavorable light, I'd be blogging 24 hours a day. Suffice it to say he's a moron.
Well, by the time I get the machines turned off and the posters that just finished printing packaged up, it'll be time to go home. I've got to do laundry tonight and pick up around the house, so that Mandy can come over tomorrow with her wedding invite paper for me to print for her. Normally I'd get up at 6am Thursday and do it before work, except we have dentist appointments at 7, so that won't work, and I'll be damned if I'll get up at 4:30 to do laundry, especially since I was up 'til 3:30 this morning. Ah needs me some sleep!
