The beauty (or something) of this job

When you come in to work every day you never know what you are going to be doing. You may know what your goals are. You may even have a list. But sometimes the list gets shoved aside when there is a crisis or a patron who needs extra help. Such was the case today.

I have a little list of items I need to accomplish for the IRS, the Erate program and the Library Board. However, the theme of the day was fated to be printers, apparently. Our circulation desk printer is failing on us. My goal was to get the front desk computer to use the laser printer that is on the network. After repeated attempts to make the printer connection I gave up. Now neither printer will print. Joy!

Also, for some reason Quicken will not print to the laser printer in my office. I'm not sure what the problem is there. I checked on the internet and it appears the problem is not unique to us. But it seems to be a Quicken problem, specifically. My interim solution is to save worksheets to Adobe .pdf and then print the .pdf. Not ideal.

So you see, this is not what I had planned at all.
