Since Fridays are quieter days at work I get a chance to catch up on those little jobs that get neglected in the beginning of the week. The printer was printing only half side of the paper so I thought I will change the cartridge. I got the new role of cartridge out and placed it in the printer. Trial print came out just the same as before, half done so I replaced the whole casing - the drum.

The new casing needed a cartridge. I said to myself that the cartridge I put in the old roller was new so I may as well take that out and place it in the new roller. Someone mentioned it that the fittings are a little tight so when I couldn't slide the cartridge out I strongly pulled it out.

To my horror the place got covered with dry black ink powder. You couldn't imagine so much ink powder could fit in a 10" of a roller. The black powder went every where. On my cloths, my shoes, all over the desk and on the floor. Luckily every thing was dry so I was able to Hoover it all up. It took nearly 2 hours before every speck was sucked up. The grey floor covering looked two toned so I had to mop it all over and spread the colour evenly!

I was so good.....All the way through I did not moan or fuss at all. I kept smiling all the time. My colleagues did ask if I was taking a happy pill but just ignore them they are only jealous of my new found control.

I have got a terrible headache today though. Not sure if the cloud of ink that I breathed in caused it or the tantrum I bottled up and couldn't perform at the time had done it.
