Paper to print
Today I found MT can be very useful for more than just maintenace. I was in the Honors Lounge today when this girl asked me for help printing out her paper. She was using an Imac, and apparently the print spooler on it wasn’t sending the jobs to the network printer. Since I know nothing about Imacs, I messed around with it for a while, but eventually had to give up. The printer was printing fine from the computer I was at, so I decided we could try to transfer the file over. Unfortunately, Imacs don’t have floppy drives. We tried attached a USB drive to the computer: I’d seen some guy using it before; once again, that didn’t work. By this point, I should have left for class, so I decided to do the one thing I knew ( theoretically) would work: I uploaded her file using MT, and then downloaded it again on my computer. Cool huh?
I’m bored right now- I have to wait until 7pm to leave the University. And just thinking about what my parents are going to subject me to this weekend is depressing me. They don’t seem to get that not only do I not like going out of town, especially when the roundtrip is about a day, I also don’t like church trips. But like I said, they don’t understand, so I’m going to be taking a trip to Arkansas for some lame Youth Congress meeting. I don’t even talk to the ‘youth’ at my church; I don’t even like my church! And they force to go to this why? Because, they: a) want to get out of town, and for some reason think that if they go, I must also go, as if I can’t care for myself b) think I need to socialize with church ‘youth’ my age, and c) get a perverse pleasure from forcing me to do something against my will. My mother actually asked me whether I wanted to go! As if I had a choice. It’s times like these I hate my family. They can be so puerile.
