Something annoying happened last week
at work..
I was experimenting with software.. We use .. pdfcreator (nice stuff) & I heard you can merge documents with it. I didnt know how, so I took 5 minutes to figure that out. For some reason I chose some personal documents to try it (The war of the ring manual & FAQ) I figured merging those two, (the later into the former & not just at the end) would be nice. Also, I wanted to print it, so I uploaded it. Ready to print B&W once I got the whole IT infrastructure up @ home.. Now, some time in this process.. I selected a wrong printer and clicked around some in the interface.. Sadly enough.. I seem to have printed instead of canceling..
The positive thing here :) is that I now have an Extremely pretty print of the rules & FAQ. Stapled n all.. The downside on the other hand.. is that I discovered this error when our boss asked me not to print personal, uber colorful stuff like that on the expensive printer. This puts me in a position I dont want to be.. I dont do stuff like that & if need be, Id at least ask first.. I hate that it makes me look bad, certainly because I was unaware that I printed it.. It d be different if I DID do it on purpuse.. & I was So bedazzled when he confronted me about it.. I REALLY didnt understand how that document I had experimented with (the evening before none the less) ended up printed n all on my desk.. I REALLY did not get it! Ofcourse this was not how it looked.. Its a pitty.. & I cant go cry about it either, because that d just be sad.. Sad in a "Just admit you tried to exploit the company" kinda way.. On the other hand.. I dont think my boss cared THAT much, so I'll survive. Still.. The whole thing bothers me! Yet, I now have a nice print :) Recto verso, great quality, .. Yeah :)
Yet I feel at ease.. Its been a long while since I really felt at ease. I feel relaxed & thats .. new! probably because of all the space we have now.. Much less stress. Probably also because I can now sit in an easy chair, relax, .. Provided VDAB pays me soon.. life is good. Finally. I waited quite some years to write this.. Ive written it before, but this time is different (as were all the other times, ...)
I even watched some startrek while unpacking
Another some boxes unpacked.. yaay.. Books are now on the shelves.. They fill a mere 1/3th of them, but .. once we both get our libraries over.. We'll need an extra bookcase then :) hehe

& we bought some amazing plants.. Since I immediately forgot the names, I cant post that right now, maybe later
& now, back to rnr & unpacking..

Sh*t happens - just be sure to get on the right side of the fan. Especially if someone else is holding it. BTW - I'll survive as well.
