Printer <blah> out of ink

I grab the toner and head down. As soon as it's alive again, it starts spitting out full page color images.

Long story short, someone fed an image of Carrie Fisher (RIP) in the slave costume to Rasterbator and decided it needed to be 20 pages wide...

feed them to the sarlaac pit

I will admit to having done poo poo like that when the college library foolishly attached a laser printer to a public terminal with no login process tying the printing to a user. The novelty of having an eight foot portrait of William Shatner was irresistible to 19 year old me.

If this is an adult in a professional environment, it becomes less funny.

I think people underestimate how big they get.
20 pages wide doesn't seem like a lot, until you realize it's 400 or so total.

IIRC, that's it, yeah. It's recommended, but not required, and really, only when the air hose is in use. In truth though, the ear plugs never really worked well for me. They always pop out and shift around and the like. The over the ear ones that I have dull the noise about as well, with the added bonus of playing music.

What are you using for over-ear cans? I'm loving my Sennheiser 598Cs, previously loved my ATH-M50s, but always open to better isolation for a noisy PATH commute.

(here's a funny little story for you)

A ticket came in: User says when anyone calls my direct number all they hear is the tones to Mary Had A Little Lamb repeating on their phone!

So I call him, I get through no problem. I have the padawan call and sure enough, he hears is 3212333,222,133,212333322321 and it repeats. I'm like WTF... :confused:

I hop into the SBC and find that while I was taking an Audiocodes class a couple of months ago I put a test plan in place as part of the training for a number that wasn't in use. It was only supposed to trigger if the call came from me to that number, but I screwed the rule up, it triggered for everyone but me, and desktop support gave that number out to a new user. Whoops.

Ticket Closed: Mary has no more little lambs.
