CONFESSION....It was me..........
It’s finals week…and as usual, everyone is frantically working on last minute projects which require a functioning printer.
So there I was in the computer lab (typical), surrounded by other students, doing mindless thinks on the internet while waiting for my teacher. Then it happened, how, I’m not even sure. But this IS for sure… I accidentally printed out a 2,000 page document. Again mind you, this is FINALS week …
How the FUCK you ask, did I manage to “accidentally” printout a 2,000 page document? Well, it was quite innocent actually… I could only see the first five pages, therefore it was not until AFTER I hit “PRINT,” did I see the number of “pages being sent to printer,” RAPIDLY continue to increase to the point that it reached 700 by the time my finger could click on the mouse to CANCEL PRINT!
Please note that I felt a huge surge of heat flood my body as I scrambled to hit CANCEL PRINT…all while maintaining my usual composure in the computer lab…a blank stare.
I was SURE that once I hit cancel print, it was cancelled…yeah, I was wrong. I realized I was wrong just a few minutes after I thought I had the situation under control…when some of my fellow students began searching for their documents at the printer and began commenting on the random sheets of paper that were CONTIUALLY being emitted from the printer.
“Who the hell is printing this random stuff?”
“Who would print this?”
“WHAT is this…???”
Maintaining my blank stare, my mind was racing, (they’ll never know it was me…it was an ACCIDENT…shit, I need to leave).
So I left.
I’m sure there was some lab aid who became a hero that night and maybe this incident was meant to happen, for their sake.
