When a routine print job turns into an hour long adventure. Easy enough... mail myself the file, cross campus to my room, print it, go back. But noooo, my computer won't support PDFs. Quick run to the library to convert it to a JPG, but the mac lab is full. Sneak in because I NEED a mac for this; the file won't open. Finally get it open, it's the wrong size. Finally get it converted, resend it, get back to print, realize my printer's out of ink. Track down somebody that's around, anybody, please anybody? Somebody be here? I left my food in the studio... I want my scone. My latte is cold now and I need to print this and go get the photo emulsion stuff ready. Find somebody, beg use of her printer, and do you realize how long it takes to print a photo image on transparency at photo quality?
Now that was an adventure and my teacher's going to flip her lid when I finally get back since I've been gone since about 10:00. Mordor, Mordor, Mordor.
Edit: throw in the accidental inhalation of volatile chemicals. Oops. Coughing and aching lungs probably aren't a good thing.
