Home Economics
Part of being back in the city, and back in my real life is that I have to begin sending out portfolios and resumes again, which means a ton of printing and packaging and labeling and blah blah blah.
I hate my printer. I've hated it for about a year now, but it's the one I have, and so it's the one that I use. I went out today with the intention of picking up ink cartridges so that I could print the new wave of portfolios. Whenever I go into an electronics or office supply store I get this wave of tech envy and spend an hour or two drooling over the latest full color laser printers that can churn out poster sized prints in seconds, or alarm clocks with built in iPod bases that allow you to wake up to your own music, and today was no exception.
The cartridges for my printer cost a total of $57, for both color and black. During my shopping today I realized that I could purchase a brand new printer, for $99, that also included a $20 rebate. This $79 (after rebate) printer fulfilled two of the three requirements that I had for the next printer I planned to purchase, ie: individual cartridges for the color inks, the ability to print on 11x17" paper, and the ability to print on CD's. The largest scale paper the new printer uses is 8 1/2" x 11" but for the price, I'm not going to quibble over small things. I don't print that large a scale often anyway. So, I am the proud owner of a new printer, which will soon be rolling out resumes, both digital and paper. Call me a happy consumer.
