Day 15 of Anneka polish -- done

Finished the Anneka polish about 2 o'clock.

Then sat down to print 407 pages.

(no. you don't really read this. It just shows my day.)

Add paper. Discover that printer is set for draft rather than display presentation. Figure out how to fix this which takes an incredibly long time. Print a while. Jam. Jam. Jam. Add paper. More problem with jamming. Decide to open a new ream of paper that will not be as DAMP as the opened ream. (Virginia climate) Add paper. Discover that for some reason pages 10 to 28 were never printed. Print them. Machine jams. Add paper. Reprint page 78 which has done that sticky-together bit where it comes out on two pages. Machine jams. Re-ink cartridge. Add paper. Discover that page 10 was, unfathomably, printed twice. Machine jams. Something wrong with the cartridge which involves taking it out and re-re-inking it. Add paper. Reprint page 235 which has done that sticky-together bit where it comes out on two pages. Add paper. Add paper. Add paper. Page 171 has stange shadows of letters upon it. Reprint. Machine jams. Add paper. Add paper. Add paper. Add paper. Reprint page 379 which has done that sticky-together bit where it comes out on two pages. Machine jams. Add paper. Add paper. Take entire manuscript and go through, checking to see that every page is actually there, in order, right side up and legible. Remove 11 blank pages that have wandered into the manuscript. Sit down to rest. Remember that I need a cover page and try to print it. Cannot print it because The Kid (through whose computer I must link to get to the printer) has her computer turned off. 'It's breaking up!, say's she, sounding like Scotty. Fiiiiinaly print cover page.

Look at completed manuscript. Wonder if I made the right choice of font.

It is now too late to go out and mail this puppy. Will do it tomorrow, then drop superagent a line to say it's mailed.

And so to bed.
