prick of a printer!

ok now its really getting painfully hilarious. on every submission deadline...every single time I have a story to tell. The previous ones were frightful, trying to make it on time, trying not to be so damn disorganised...but today was different. Silmilar in a lot of ways but not quite the same either. I thought it was going fine. I had put in alot of hours of hard work into my paper and was quite satisfied with the outcome. Until i had to print it out. Dear god. After 5 tries....the damn thing just wouldn't print!! It was now 11:50 and the deadline was at 12:00. Feeling fucked in the face, I ran around campus looking for a colour printer..found one ...and yet again it wouldn't print. After 2 tries I look around and see a little neglected scrap piece of paper that says: "Out of Order". At 12:05, I ran to the submission office and told Rosie( secretary) of my problem. She was kind enough to print it out for me from her office. That. or she took pity on my hyper panicked soul. So anyway, the brilliant colour print out looked lovely and I was proud of those 15 pages of hard work. I was just about to smile a little satisfied.."phew its done" smile when KHAchack! ......... OOPS! I stapled the document with those staplers for realy thick 500 paged documents. So what I had now before me, were long sharp pins jutting out the topleft hand side of my beautiful front cover. Ruined! So I painfully struggled to get the thing out..hurt myself, poked myself, bled and finally..it was out. It was 12:24 by now....and Rosie look on amused as I fought with that pin in her office. But the big ugly holes glaring at me was so dissappointing-like an irreversible scar on something so beautiful. ugh. whatever. She said the professor wouldn't mind so I just handed it in and didnt look back. I came back home and felt so uneasy. I immediately emailed the prof. telling him of my grievences and those holes in the paper and begged him not to take into account the presentation of the document. Really hoping he doesn't. I am guessing the marking can range from a hopeful A-, a realistic B or a pessimistic B- for this paper ! Just gta wait n see now.
