An Unknown Fix

I could not print, for the longest of time

Checked all of the cables… plugged in just fine

Reset what I could, power-cycled it all

Spent an hour on hold with a tech support call.

But just now while checking “Print Management”

My jobs started printing, every one that was sent!

What did I do? What was the fix?

Was it an unintended series of tricks?

Why didn’t I write down all of my clicks?

Whatever the case it is working now

And I fixed it (though I don’t know how).


Regret-all

Reply! Reply! Reply! Reply!

I wish could crawl under my desk and die!

I made a snide comment, definite bad taste

About an boss who’s just a complete waste.

But what I wish I could take back most of all

Was when instead of Reply, I clicked Reply-to-all.


MacBook of Humility

MacBook, oh MacBook, how I love you, sweet MacBook!

You look and I look just how all hipsters should look.

Your trendy and shiny and quite a nice prize

For someone so brilliant as me, realize

You and I are better than all

… oh crap, a spinning beachball!


Bargain Burn

I found a great deal. What fortune, what luck!

A laptop at Walmart for just 600 bucks

(which was next to some tires for my old Chevy truck).

But buyer-beware, of no real surprise

Specs of the machine were of inadequate size.

Six months later, it’s worthless… but, let’s face it,

The thing came loaded with Vista Home Basic.


Bounced Love

I could not send my love, to you from me

Because of an error on SMTP

Did I misspell your domain?

Have I botched your username?

Oh, woe our use of the protocol IP!


BSOD

It blue screened, it smoked, it sparked and it crashed.

My poor little Dell has been thoroughly trashed.

I dropped it just once, spilt pop on it twice,

used Windex on the screen to clean it up nice.

But I think what action may have done the thing in

Was putting System32 in the Recycling Bin.
