Okay… this is an example of why leaving something to the last minute is a bad idea.
Fantastic, I thought to myself, I have an hour before work to go down to the local net café, print (my printer at home is buggered) all the sheets out and send them off. This is a good thing as the Post Office also closes in an hour. Please also keep in mind today’s the last day to send.
So I get there and ask for a computer with Word. The gentleman sits me down, and I immediately try to log into Hotmail so I can download my work and print them up.
Error.
What the?
Error.
“Damn.” I say, “Erm, excuse me, but I can’t seem to connect to Hotmail.”
“Oh yeah, sorry about that but the server is down. I’ve loaded Word up for you though!”
“Gee thanks. Erm, would you know where the nearest Net Café is?”
“Yeah… round the corner.”
So I pick myself up and go around the corner. I jump onto a computer and try again. Hotmail loads. Woohoo! I try to download the file.
Error.
Argh!
“Excuse me, but I can’t seem to download this file to print!”
“Yeah, they do that. No downloading onto these computers.”
Arraaaaaagh! So it’s now 4:20pm here. Post Office closes at 5:00 and I have no time to get to a café and print one out. In short, I’ve failed because I stupidly left it to the last minute. So, for your perusal, I offer you a setting proposal that never got sent off. Enjoy.
