I'm not sure what it says about me that I spent a small, but noticeable period of time today trying to figure out why awesome and awful don't mean the same thing. They come from the same root and had similar usage until about 200 years ago, but have now gone their separate ways.
A small piece broke off my printer, so now the tray that holds papers after they've been printed can't be pulled out to its full length or it will just fall off. I looked online to see if you could get a new tray, because it seems to me it just snaps into place. Nothing to be seen, so I e-mailed tech support. I told them the printer was less than a year old and that I'd like a new tray under warranty. I got a response telling me that this is not a user-replaceable part, and since my printer is still under warranty that they will send me an entire new printer and I will send the old one back in that box. Does this seem right to you? If this thing isn't user-installable, I'm surprised they allow you to change ink cartridges, because this doesn't look any more difficult.
I am a big New Orleans fan. I like the football team too, but I've visited New Orleans at least a dozen times and have loved it always. It's the first place I ever saw a "Mom went to ____ and all I got was this lousy t-shirt," I took a friend there for a bachelor party, I've eaten lots and lots of crawfish and danced and listened to lots of music, and over time, tried to soak up some of the charm and soul that permeates the place. THe weather's kind of muggy, but it's a favorite place. So I couldn't be happier for the city after the Super Bowl. I think my favorite part of the game was the 2 minute-long scrum for the ball after the onside kick, with all the players milling around and pointing that their team had the ball. I wasn't sure the officials were ever going to sort it out.
