frustrating.

As implied by the fact that I got new glasses yesterday, I've been to the eye doctor recently.

While at the eye doctor, we had a nice little chat about Macular Degeneration. Magular Degeneration is an eye disease which is the number one cause of blindness in America. My grandmother has it. My uncle has it. My father has it. So, I am susceptible to it.

Ergo, our chat.

During this chat, my eye doctor gave me information on how to slow, stop, and reverse Macular Degeneration.

So, I thought I'd send this information to my parents. This shouldn't be too hard, I thought, I'll just scan the information in and e-mail it to my parents. And, while I'm at it, I'll put it up on my family's website as well, so everyone can benefit from the wealth. I was feeling very generous.

Today, I trucked my little self over to the library to scan this little bit of paper into the compy.

Then I hit a snag. The 7 kajillion scanners that used to populate the main area of the library have been moved. No matter, I thought, I'll just use the copier to email it. Well, that would've worked, had I been able to get at a copier at that time. One was frozen, the other was being used by somebody who didn't know what he was doing. Great.

So, I went up to the girl at the desk and asked where the scanners went. She said that the software was on the fritz, but there were more downstairs in periodicals. So I went there. And tried 3 scanners. None worked. The only explanation I have for this is that when BYU installed the new Windows (7?) they didn't get the right hook up for scanners. I don't know how it works. I'm not a computer person.

So, I went back up to see if the copiers were free. One was still frozen, and another dolt was using the other (this one couldn't figure out where the paper came out. he copied the same thing 3 times till he finally asked where it came out. what a concept). I waited my turn, only to find out that there is no longer an option of emailing from the copier. Yes, that was available last year, but this year? No. So, I made a copy to send to my dad. Maybe some day the god of scanners will stop his endless vendetta against me and allow me to scan one single freaking article.
