Transcript

You want to know what every tech guy fears is this thing right here. This bastard right here. A printer. Worst thing ever. Printers are the worst thing ever. Printers are the devil's gift to every IT guy out there. It doesn't matter where you are in the field. You could be a C.E.O. You could be the server administrator, God forbid, your tech support or help desk. In fact, I would rather rebuild a server centre than deal with this right here. Why it's here on my table. Out of toner, I didn't even bother. I told myself, I'd rather go pay the money, let someone else print for me, than me struggling with any problem that stress back. If you can't me a lot. But the sad doesn't matter the even if it's like this, even if it's a small one, they always give the headache.
