Somebody broke my goddamned typewriter!

Yeah, I know, who even has a typewriter these days, right? ME, that's who. And oddly enough, I use it daily here at the office.

I noticed when I got here this morning that the dust cover that goes over the keyboard wasn't where it should be - it was over the top of the typewriter (like where you'd put the paper into it). I thought that odd but thought maybe I'd forgotten to put it back on when I left Friday. No biggie, I put the cover back and started cleaning off my desk. When I went to type a release to go with an invoice, I noticed the paper wouldn't go in. The little piece of metal that holds the paper to the roller/platen/whatever it's called these days, won't stay in position, so I can't wind the paper through.

*headdesk*

I'm praying my contractor doesn't have a fit at handwritten labor and material releases because it's all they're getting until I figure out where the heck I can get a new one. Office Depot and Staples only have this one, very basic model by Royal and I'm rather partial to my Brother typewriters. (God, I sound like a dinosaur, don't I?)

Anyway... carry on, my wayward friends. I had to get this out because I am ticked. It means someone was at my desk when I wasn't here and that bothers me. Even worse is, someone broke the damn thing and didn't say a word. OKay, I'm done. :D

Edit: Apparently my boss was using my typewriter on Friday after I left. He fouled something up, but after a bunch of fiddling, he managed to fix it.

*headdesk x 2*

I can never get the envelop facing the right direction the first time I print, and the MASSIVE waste of envelopes isn't worth it. I just hand write them, which I hate.

YAY FOR FIXED TYPEWRITERS!!!! THAT IS AWESOME NEWS!

Same here. I tend to split the difference for the companies I mail to often - I print labels using the Avery label maker. But I still find myself typing a ton of envelopes anyway.

Thanks! I was so happy!
