Maybe it’s just lulling me into a false sense of security, or maybe it was just a Little Bad and has felt betrayed by its father’s bad parenting—or I could be thinking of Quicksilver and the X-Men. Ah well. Quicksilver that typewriter AIN’T.</p>felicityhttp://faerye.net/post/a-new-archvillain-in-felicityland#comment-913typewriters of DOOM2004-01-16T16:50:45+00:002004-01-16T16:50:45+00:00<p>I work in the Teacher Education department, and I have learned to understand our mysterious IBM typewriter. However, this week my boss lent me to the Admissions department since they are swamped – and they have a different typewriter down there. I was typing mailing labels when it got stuck and I couldn’t reset the left margin. So I called Helen over and she did <strong>exactly</strong> what I tried and it worked fine. This has happened at least once a day this week. If I have an archnemisis here, that typewriter is definitely it.</p>meephttp://faerye.net/post/a-new-archvillain-in-felicityland#comment-911Re: Haiku2004-01-16T10:00:25+00:002004-01-16T10:00:25+00:00<p>Mwa ha, hee hee, yes. More relief at my last job, actually, where I very nearly abducted the Epson color in the dead of night to do that very thing.</p>felicityhttp://faerye.net/post/a-new-archvillain-in-felicityland#comment-910Re: Haiku2004-01-16T09:31:11+00:002004-01-16T09:31:11+00:00<p>I’m glad to hear it’s not quite that bad. I just thought the scene where the three hapless computer criminals beat the crap out of <i>The Bastard Printer From Hell</i> might lend you some vicarious relief. ;o)</p>GreyStorkhttp://faerye.net/post/a-new-archvillain-in-felicityland#comment-909Re: Haiku2004-01-16T08:36:13+00:002004-01-16T08:36:13+00:00<p>My work is very nice, not at all like that movie (which we own, too!) but having an archvillain spices things up.</p>felicityhttp://faerye.net/post/a-new-archvillain-in-felicityland#comment-908Haiku2004-01-16T06:45:02+00:002004-01-16T06:45:02+00:00<p>Go to Ryan’s House<br />
