Stupid Printers Taking My Money

<p>So I wanted to print something out to post on the bulliten board in my apartment building… but I am out of yellow ink. I have no yellow, so I can’t print in black and white. That’s harsh. So now I have to go to Best Buy on a weekend… I’m certain this will be hell on earth.</p>
<p>I wanted to print a flyer for a little side business I’ve been kicking around for ages. I’m thinking about doing some guitar repair again. I’m always weary of it, because when you’re some unknown doing work in the neighborhood, the majority of the customers you get are people who have had a guitar for years and never played them. The strings are usually tetanus shots waiting to happen, with a nice layer of rust on them. Many of them have necks that are twisted like pretzels. Putting a new set of strings on them and tuning to proper tension is likely to snap the neck, or rip the bridge out of the body. All this so they can put the thing back in the closet and never look at it again, until the next guy posts a similar flyer in the lobby.</p>
<p>Oh well, I’ll probably give it a try anyway… maybe now that I’m in a more artsy community, I will have more customers who have a genuine interest in taking care of their instruments.</p>
