Think Ink Before Its Bloody-Well Too Late

Your homework assignment is due in four hours, and you haven’t had a wink of sleep. You sip your cold coffee, and sigh relief as you type the last line of your conclusion at 0417. You look disheveled; your hair has a rooster tail in the back, and you are pretty sure your tee shirt is on backwards. Your mouth is dryer than if you’d been pub-crawling all night, your eyes are bloodshot, and at this point, you are glad you can even spell your own name. You save the document, and it feels like relief from heaven to have finally finished. You drag yourself away from your desk, flop down on your bed, set the alarm for 0645, and close your eyes.

The beeping alarm comes way too soon. Groggily, you wipe the sleep from your eyes and make your way to the shower. Even though you feel like a zombie, the hot water is amazing. You start the coffee marker as you dress, getting your to-go mug ready for action. You do your hair, and gather your books that have somehow seemed to spread themselves out across your entire floor. You turn on your computer at the same time as you wriggle into your shoes, and tap the “print” icon with your mouse. Then, the unthinkable happens: your computer rudely tells you that you are out of ink! How could you have forgotten? You do remember, now that you think of it, that it did warn you last week, when you were printing out your zodiac compatibility with that hot guy in the back of the class that let slip that he was a Pisces, that you needed ink. But with all the stuff on your brain, including his gorgeous brown eyes, it slipped your mind. Bloody hell! You could go print this at the library if you email it to yourself, but that is on the opposite side of the university from your class, and there is always a line. Even if you left ten minutes ago, you’d never make it to class on time if you have to hit up the library. And this professor is a tough one; he not only marks you down for being late, but makes it a point to admonish you in front of the whole class. How could you have been so daft and let it come to this?

Probably at one time or another, something similar (although perhaps a wee less dramatic) has happened to you. Printer ink is just one of those things that you never think about until you are in dire need of it. If you are anything like me, you always rationalize that you can squeeze one more good page out of it. But really, is that anyway to live your life? Why not treat it the way you treat toilet paper; you always need to have a back-up roll! Or, in this case, a cartridge.  And why should this be so hard? There are TONS of stores online where you can order ink, and have it delivered right to your door. If you don’t even have to leave the house, what excuse have you?
