Monday Morning Fun
I hoped to get a few things printed before class started this morning, so I started the laptop up first thing and clicked on my browser."No connection to Internet." Rats! I did some other stuff and came back.
"You are now connected." Yay! I went to the website and clicked on the manuscript.
"No connection to Internet." Rats! I went and did some more stuff and came back.
"You are now connected." Yay! I clicked again and the manuscript came up. I clicked "Print."
"No connection to Printer." Rats! This happens often and I know I have to reboot. I rebooted. This takes a fair amount of time, so I walked down to the office and came back. I sat down at the computer, opened the browser, went to the website and clicked on the manuscript. It showed that it was printing, so I clicked on the two other things I needed and headed back to the office where the printer is located.
"Printer offline." Rats! I turned it off and then back on because, for reasons far too majestic for my puny comprehension, that sometimes works.
"Printer online." Yay! I pressed the "Go" button.
I wish I had a "Go" button. I digress.
"Paper jam." Rats! I cleared the jam, opened and closed all the appropriate covers.
And lo, suddenly there was a bright light, and I heard the voice of a great angelic choir singing, "Behold, the printer doth feed thy paper through."
And I'll bet you thought it wasn't all going to work out. C'mon! Have a little faith, wouldja?
Happy Monday!

You make me laugh. Miss you.
I loathe those moments when nothing goes right with the computer! I can tell you those moments are far less frequent with Mac computers.
I had a similar morning with my computer and the District's internet connection. Perhaps the little computer gremlins were moving west with the sun?
Next time just use a hammer.
Oooooh....if I had a hammer....
Weave, you're the reason I know to reboot when I can't get a printer connection.
Hammer, reboot. It's all Pool-Pond to me.
"Rats!" is an apt comment for so many things, don't you think?? :)
Sounds like a case of the Mondays!
