coulda, woulda, shoulda ...

... had a v8.



You're asking yourself what the expensive, beautiful-but-behemoth new printer is doing on the classroom floor. And I'm answering: That's where I dropped it. On myself. This is what it looked like after I screamed "oh f*ck me!" and scrambled to lug it from its face-down, dead-to-the-technological-world position into its correct standing position.

Ow. OW.

* Update: Bit the bullet and asked for help, which is what I should have done in the first place. Now I have a knee problem and pseudo-blogger has a back problem, but happily, the printer has no problems. It's working just fine.

A V8 would have gotten it over to the table. Or maybe at least to the next square tile on the floor.

you kids and your crazy fun!

it almost makes you wonder why they'd make a 55lbs printer with no handles.

there's an old saying (to apply next time faced with a daunting task) work smarter, not harder.

plug that bad boy in where it lies. seems like a good place. central, easily accessible, and simple to reach.
