Xerox Blues


   You know, I got this nice new computer – it runs the best of what the PC community has to offer, but the office Xerox isn’t playing nice. I’ve wasted so much time researching, sending Xerox inquiries and wasted lots of paper and energy trying to figure out why this PC is not working well with the Xerox. It works fine with every other printer in the office, but not with the one I need the most.

  I’m running Windows 7 on a 64-bit machine. I’m using publisher, photoshop and other such programs. I had our computer tech guys install the drivers I needed when the new computer got here and then last week I had a Xerox guy come and install another driver to fix something, but I’m still having troubles – different troubles than before.

  At this moment, the jobs I’m sending are simply not getting to the printer. I have network and internet access, so I’m not sure why my job isn’t showing up over there. And on top of that, somehow it’s coding a job that would normally be only about 8MB into something that’s more than 2 GB!

  I don’t know quite what to do now. It makes me want to call that Xerox guy and have him come back out to figure out what’s going on. It’s like my printer driver is malfunctioning. Sometimes the driver shows up, sometimes it doesn’t. I definitely feel picked on. Short of doing some crazy shock-and-awe on the machine, I need some help and as most people who have to deal with Xerox “help center” know, going to them is a non-starter and a mammoth waste of time. Sure the center reps are nice, and I know they’re told to ask you to do this and that with the printer, but we pay a fee for printer service – why can’t they just send out a rep like we ask without all that yeah-yeah?

Freelance Design: Selena Sews

Proofs with the two I liked most at the top... This is the one she chose - definitely my favorite - although she chose the one with the sewing machine for a larger sign she was going to do cut vinyl for. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action. A talented friend asked me to help her with some designs for craft bag tags. If you're interested in seeing some of her side-hustle goods, check out her facebook page .

Just do something!

I'm so tired of hearing about how politicians need to "compromise" and do what that particular politician wants them to do. I'm tired of those same politicians saying that there needs to be tolerance when they're the most intolerant people in the universe. This debt problem that our government has is a ridiculous problem. Anyone in his or her right mind wouldn't purposely spend more than they took in OR pay $1400 for a hammer that cost $8.50 at the hardware store OR award billions of dollars (they'd have to borrow from a foreign country) to someone to study the effects of methane on ants or some other foolish thing. If I could speak with the leaders in congress and the house right now, and knew that what I said would make a dent in their stiff-necked stances, I'd let them know in no uncertain terms that they were all fired and that we're starting over. Pay off the debt we have so we won't be in such a bind, get rid of welfare (cause since t...
