I swear that’s what my day droned at me all day long today.
Mostly followed by *failing* *failing* *failing* *failing*
Sheesh, I’ll be glad to hit the pillow tonight and get a fresh start tomorrow. But I’ve still got a few hours of work ahead, so that will have to wait.
Actually, this pile of deadlines isn’t going anywhere, and I need a break. I’m going to leave the just-hit-command-z-if-you-make-a-mistake comfort of the iMac for a few minutes and see if I can get my old typewriter working.
Ok, that’s random. Well there might be a real reason. Maybe I’ll tell you someday.
Anyway, I’ve had this retro-looking ribbon sitting around from some 50-cent estate sale bin for a couple years. Time to give it a try.
It says it’s universal, so it should work.
Never mind that my typewriter appears to have been made in about 1938.
Universal is universal, right?
Oh.
Yeah well after the day I’ve had, I’m not letting a little explosion of typewriter ribbon get in my way. No sirree. I’m respooling that ribbon right onto the creaky old metal spools and doing it twice if I do it wrong the first time even if I get black ink all over myself in the process.
Because galldangit I need a *win* today.
I’ll be right back.
