Move Along, Nothing to see

No stress here.

How can the Gorse Fox have been so stupid. he printed the place cards last weekend and used the bride#s maiden name! This morning he had to print a new one. It went a bit like this:

  • Open the mail merge created last week - it hung
  • Create a new one in, then realise there is only one to print, so didn't need a merge, could just print.
  • Ink ran out on printer
  • No spare ink cartridges, so ordered some.
  • Phone local shops until right cartridges could be found locally, set out to collect.
  • Got stuck in traffic at level crossing.
  • Followed brain-transplant donor at 15mph.
  • Entered shop, asked for cartridges and left... Thinks... get car washed while out.
  • Red traffic light.
  • Moving again towards West Worthing. caught by Red traffic light.
  • Traffic light turns Green, Level crossing gate closes. Nobody is going anaywhere.
  • Train goes through, gate opens, light turns green. Woman in front does not move.
  • Traffic light turns red. Gorse Fox waits... temperature is rising.
  • Traffic light turns green. We're off.
  • Gets caught by next two sets of lights before getting car washed.
  • Leaves car wash
  • Gets caught behind learner driver - she indicates right, turns left.
  • Stopped by set of traffic lights.
  • Lights change, get stuck behind bus.
  • Bus stops at every opportunity.
  • Bus pulls off Gorse Fox's route and he tiuucks in behind another learner driver.
and so it continued. Printer is now working, and place card is complete.
