Absolute catharsis
7 years ago
I'm a writer at heart, and to prove it I've written a growing series of books, featured within the Ephalon universe of my creation.

Ephalon Twitter page It's been many years since I was genuinely angry pissed off at something.
Today has set the new stopping point.
Here's what happened:
1) I found out while editing feedback for my 2nd book that I'd forgotten to print one of the chapters. OEPS!
2) So in order to rectify this I wanted to print it out and bring it to the proofreader to have her check on it.
3) Oh dear the printer will not work...
All I wanted from my printer was, plug it in, print some words on pages... nothing else.
Day one since I bought that printer I've had nothing but trouble with it. So today was going to be the last day I would ever have trouble with it.
4) I lost my temper and absolutely destroyed my printer, I misplaced my foot roughly 5 or 6 times. The only thing I regret is that there was a glass pane inside the printer which blew up and shot glass in all directions. So I had to clean it up.
5) Shame about the waste of money, but! Sometimes you just need to break something you know? It felt DAMN good.
I used to work an IT job where sometimes I had to install very annoying rare printers which had drivers that often would refuse to work properly. So you can understand my frustration why a bare bones basic printer would not work.
Now I'm 1 hour + behind schedule today so I'm back to work I want to get the book finished this week still.
Rip (the destroyer of printers) out

yeah I used to work at IBM Thinkpad Hardware support... I HATE printers that don't do wat they are supposed to do
I'll buy a new one in the future but it's going to be an HP, they at least tell me in clear language what's wrong!
