This morning I needed to get a 'Call Record Sheet' printed, to write down by hand details of the call I'd just made that wouldn't all fit on one line of the computer screen. Christine #3 was the nearest duty supervisor; I asked her to print me the sheet, she said it was on its way, so I went over to the printer...and waited and waited. After a few minutes I spotted that the little info panel was showing 'Tray 2 Empty'. I alerted Kevin, who loaded up the tray with paper. I stood there waiting for the sheet to print...and waited and waited. It soon became clear that the printer's memory hadn't retained the job, so I had to pootle back over to Christine #3 and ask her to try again. She did - still nothing doing.

In exasperation I gave the printer a thump. The very next second, it printed my record sheet.

To Havant tonight for Hawks v Dorchester. Rained all evening, but we won 4-0 - and the rain stopped before the final whistle so I made the long walk back to the station in the dry :)
