Catalogue of aggravations.

[kiya]

- my computer cannot find the printer. Which means I cannot print the assembly instructions for the construction project I kind of wanted to go at this evening. It has been playing, "Duh, where's the printer?" for over an hour now. I don't think it's going to find it.

- other people's stresses that I can't do a damn thing about.

- too much stuff I need to do and not enough time for it.

- cracked the glass dish for the oil diffuser by being stupid about heat differentials.

- Rosemary has escaped from my goddamn killfile again.

- fucking trees

- nothing in the house to drink but tea (which I don't want) and limeade (which I can't manage to get open).

- I HAVE FALLEN DOWN THE FUCKING STAIRS. Only the short bit at least. My elbow hurts.

- Actually, much of me hurts, but at least I went and got the magnesium that larksdream suggested and we'll see if that makes some of it stop.

- I have apparently too much ingrained self-control to throw a temper tantrum.

Rosemary has escaped from my goddamn killfile again.

Because it's all about me: bugger. That means she's probably escaped mine, too.

I think, to cut her the minimum of slack she deserves, she typoed her usual munge in her urge to carry on with her favorite anti-social newsgroup-hostile crusade.

Fair enough. I thought she'd automated all that.

Gah. I've spent way too much of my life talking to the computer.

"What do you mean you can't find the printer? It's sitting on the desk next to you in plain sight! Brain the size of a planet and you can't see something you're cheek by jowl with? My kingdon for a death ray!"

That's pretty much the conversation I've been having with it for the past two hours. Along with, "Look, you're plugged into the same network hub. Your IP addresses are on the same cluster. You know it's there, I installed the drivers last week, come on ...."

Computer: "I can't heeeeaaaar you... la la la..."

- I HAVE FALLEN DOWN THE FUCKING STAIRS.

Damn stairs. Clearly today is Stair Conspiracy Kill All Humans Day. (I managed to hit my head going down mine again. And here I thought I'd learned. At least my vision stayed functional through the whole thing this time! I am fairly sure there is no permanent dain bramage.) I am glad you are not too badly wounded.

Have you tried plugging the printer directly into the computer instead of going through the network? The cool printer I had through work absolutely refused to deal with even a USB hub and demanded a direct connection.
