The best use of resources?? Not at all. But kind of funny? Sure thing.
So last Wednesday morning I went to the library to print some documents before class. I downloaded what I needed, set it to print, picked it up, and began to scan some other documents. My computer was fairly close to the printer and all of a sudden I noticed that the printer was frantically spitting out pages and pages of something. Oh well, sometimes people have large documents to print, so no problem, I thought. But after more than 5 minutes of frantically printing?? I was beginning to wonder. So, I went back over there to see what was up. Every piece of paper that it printed had only one word on it at the very top, centered, and in size 12 font: "CHEST." Huh???? Weird. But who knows. Maybe it was someone's anatomy project and they had to draw pictures and they wanted to print labels?? (maybe...?) Anyway, while I was trying to decide what to do (would YOU want to call out loudly in the library to see if "chest" is anyone's homework?) the printer kept going. Chest, chest, chest, and on and on and on. A couple other people had come up to the printing station by now and confirmed that no, it wasn't their homework, and yes, it was weird that the printer was printing so many copies of "chest." But stopping it?? Maybe I could just press "cancel." No, that didn't work. This printer was SET on printing all however many copies of "chest" that it was supposed to! It would print maybe 10 copies, pause for a moment as if catching its breath, and then begin with some more. So, during one of its breaths, I opened the paper drawer. Good thing, too, cause there was more than a ream of paper left in there!!! Who knows how long it would have kept going. All I know is that there was a two-inch stack of "CHEST" in the printer tray when I left for class. And I laughed about that for a long while. :)
