Fuck Owls

I sat down in the 4th floor Packard computer lab an hour ago to do some gryphon work and study for finance. In about twenty minutes I had put together the fliers I needed to do for gryphoning (in Publisher) then quickly ran down each of the 8 pages in question to print then out. Everything seemed to be going swimmingly as the printer began spewing copies ... so I got up and went into the hall to make a phone call.

I returned 15 minutes later to find several irate engineering students standing around the printer and a completely bugged out Publisher program. I looked into the printer output tray to discover what seemed to be an entire ream of paper that had just been used to make fliers for World AIDS Day. "That's funny," I thought. "That's what my fliers look like."

Apparently, when I had selected the number of copies for each page, I had selected "70" instead of "7." The result was that I had requested 560 fliers on AIDS, then locked my screen and left. On the upside I was able to cancel the process about 200 fliers in ... on the downside, I had accidentally left the wrong year at the bottom of every single one. All 200 completed fliers thus made their way into the recycle bin as I fired up Publisher to start another round of printing with another 50+ sheets of paper.

Oh well ... it's not like the Spotted Owl was going to make a comeback anyway, right?
