follies

i am an idiot today.

i was setting up my new printer because i needed to print something. i stuck my paper where i saw a slot for paper, on the front side near the bottom, and hooked it up to my computer. ubuntu, being awesome like that, recognized it immediately, fetched some drivers, and told me i could print. i sent the job...and it wasn't printing. i was a little confused that the paper didn't fit into the slot quite as securely as i'd hoped, so i tried to shove it in there to secure it some more, and it didn't work. i power-cycled the printer; no dice. i resent the job; still it failed.

turns out i was putting the paper in the slot where paper comes out. the in slot was, as in most home printers, on the top. i grumbled at my stupidity, stuck some paper in the top slot...and, wonder of wonders, it printed.

hopefully i will not be this dumb tomorrow when i take the bar.

countdown!

so many countdowns, so little time:

• 1 day until the bar exam begins.
• 2 days until the bar exam ends.
• 3 days until i move into my new place in wrigleyville.
• 4 days until the 2600 meeting...which marks the beginning of my real unwinding.
  
• 18 days until i fly to new york for a week and a half to see rob_t_firefly. ♥♥♥
  
• 42 days until i start my job.

i'm a busy girl.
