Ink-A-Dink-A-Doo
So today, I signed up for unemployment benefits. Fun stuff, huh?
And guess when my printer ran out of ink? Oh, I knew it was coming-- it's been over a year since we replaced the cartridges, and the color one never worked. So today, I had about 15 pages of application, instructions, and claims forms to print-- and no functioning printer.
I ended up going to the store and just about had a seizure when I realized I'd be blowing 60 bucks on new ones. $60! I could damn near buy a new printer for $60.00. And, here I am, trying sooo hard not to spend any money on unnecessary things during my period of unemployment. But then, I realized that not being able to print resumes and employment applications was probably going to put a cramp in my job-hunting... so I sucked it up and shelled out the cash. Ugh.
You know, I should go to pages like Inkjet Deals.info, because I'm sure it would be a heck of a lot cheaper to buy printer ink online. So I checked it out. They index different websites who deal with inkjet cartridges, and the prices were so-so on new ones-- better on re-conditioned cartridges... and they also have a page of Coupon Codes for each of the websites that they index. And we all know how much I love coupons. I don't buy anything that isn't on sale.
So, if you're not an idiot like me... and you can actually remember in advance that you might need printer ink-- or laser printer toner cartridges, check it out. It might keep you from having a heart attack in the office supply store.
I guess now that I've printed out all my materials, that makes me officially unemployed... with the paperwork to prove it. Good times.
