  • Last Thursday, I succumbed to my outrageous electricity bill and they shut off my electricity. My lease is up on my apartment next month, so we decided to ditch the apartment.

    10 years I lived there. All gone. I had to uproot my family and move in with my in laws. I’ve been moving almost all of my belongings to the dump, and I got a storage unit for the important stuff.

    I could let this get me down, but I’m excited for the future. That defeated feeling got so bad, I feel positive (if that makes sense?)

    I’m going to use money that would be for rent to pay off all of my debt and start from a clean slate. I see this as a new beginning.

    I’ve been talking to almost everybody I run into and it really helps me not feel so doomed. Somebody even donated a car to us, I’m supposed to go pick it up today or tomorrow.

    Even when things are as bad as they could be, there’s something positive in every situation if you look hard enough. My situation might suck, but I’m determined to not let it get me down.

    Hang in there stranger, it’s all we can do.


  • I work on copiers for a living. Seriously, fuck HP.

    I swear they’re designed not to be worked on. Just speaking of the fuser on any Laserjet photocopier, they heat up and cool down constantly. Obviously stuff is going to break and it needs to be repaired.

    HP says fuck you! On the little desktop printers, on some models, you have to take all plastic panels off, and they all connect to each other so good luck getting it put back together right. They’re built exactly like a rubix cube. I literally clip off plastic tabs and just leave it. The customer never knows.

    I’ve been through official HP training. They told me “we can’t teach you on a specific model because we average a new model every month, so we’ll just give you a ball park on what to look for”

    I stopped calling HP support because they don’t even know their own machines. Shout-out to Laser Pros, they’re the best.
