When copies get you down

On saturday, as normal my task to get ready for our meeting was to get the certificates made for our award ceremony. Knowing that i normally have trouble Katie prayed that i would be calm and not stressed. I was very glad for that.

So my good friend Trimi and i set off to get these copies finished. We walked in to our normal spot which told us the machines had been down for 3 days and we needed to come back monday... too bad we needed them for that day. So we headed over  to the old shop and their printers weren't connecting to the computers. Then to two more places who could only print in black and white and on this paper. ahhh

So Trimi and I head back to the first place just to print out on normal black and white since it is the cheapest there. After printing our 50 or so copies all the sudden the color printer is open and we can use it. So we start to print and every other one coming out got stuck. At this point it is 2:20 and the meeting starts at 3 ( note that all the copes must have students names written on them, signed by Rachael and Joanna and then stamped) so the guy at the shop tells us he will create the document in a new program.. so trimi and i are sitting there twiddling our thumbs watching the clock get closer and closer to three. So the guy finally finishes and at 3:05 a few minutes after i sent trimi with the first load i walk into the place we were having the awards ceremony. As i walk in rachael says to me " did you print out Outstanding Servant Leader " ( which please note is ONE copy) Of course i had forgotten in the rush of things. So i truck it back to the printer shop where they had already started another order and i had to wait 20 min. to use the machine for one copy. So i ended up getting back to the meeting at about 3:35 or so, but it was all worth it to see the guys face when he got the award.

below are some pictures of trimi and i trying to not go insane while waiting at the copy shop.
