Disappointment

I really, REALLY need that part for my printer. And I double checked, and, YES!, I ordered a new one..

To their credit, when I called they passed me straight to a supervisor who immediately refunded my money as well as asked for pictures so he could go see who in the warehouse had so obviously messed up.

But they don’t have an actual new one. Office Depot will let me order one, says it’s “in stock,” but when I try to order says its expected delivery is in March. I called to verify and had the most fascinating discussion about the meaning of the term “in stock.”

The end is near! Or at least that’s what the maintenance daemon in the printer driver tells me.

Planned obselescence raised to the Nth degree!
