My printer loves me, it really does.

I have an important meeting tomorrow, one which, in the best case scenario, could change my life in the most drastic ways imaginable. But more on that later; I'm still pretty much in the dark about that, myself.

Thing is, when I was printing some important documents for said meeting just now, my printer started acting up; paper jams, ink stains, wrinkled paper, etc.


Now, some might perceive this rebellious behavious as a manifestation of anger, hate, perhaps even envy, but not me, oh no. I'm an optimist, and therefore I always tend to see the good side of people (and .. erm .. office appliances); I think it's a manifestation of its love for me.

I believe that it's aware of the importance of tomorrow's meeting, and it realises that this meeting could signal the beginning of the end of our peaceful life together. It's afraid our joyful, harmonious liaison will be brutally disturbed by external forces on which it, as a mere device, has no control whatsoever, and therefore, I believe, it is now willingly and knowingly sabotaging my attempts to make a good impression, tomorrow.

The saying 'You hurt the ones you love' appears to not be restricted merely to animate objects.

God bless it.

Cheers
