i lost my patience on my printer today at work. i think i might have said the 's' word under my breath a few times, and my co-worker might have heard me. oopsie. no worries though... she understood. we probably registered a total of ten patients together because our printers kept jamming every 0.2 seconds. the facesheets would print on the labels, the labels would print on the plain letter paper, the consent forms... well, you get the picture.
huge. jumbled. mess.
at least today i didn't completely embarrass myself like i did last week. a lady was sitting directly in front of me at my desk, and as i proceeded with all the typical, personal questions i have to ask to do my job, it happened. my printer jammed.
i was sitting in my chair and bent over to try and rummage around and move papers and trays and slam drawers, and all of a sudden, i fell further forward. i had been leaning on part of the printer that gave way, and i was 99% close to falling face first out of my chair. after the huge banging noise of the printer and my almost fall, both me and my patient were pretty on edge. then... something even worse happened. i drooled. drool actually came out of my mouth---rolled down off my lips and onto the floor.
i guess i had been leaning down with my mouth open for so long that i just couldn't help myself?
i just couldn't recover after that. i didn't even laugh. i just hurriedly finished her paperwork and got her out the door.
my printer may be the death of me.
