Printing
I've discovered a new "virus" on Tabulas. I have called it the "flooded posts virus." While scouring through Tabulas' for some juicy gossip on my friend's Tabulas', I decided to look at their "friends page."
To my dismay, all my posts came up (ok well... maybe I wasn't really dismayed). Basically for anybody who lists me as a friend, their "friends" page became the "flooded roy posts" page. Haha. Sucks for YOU!
The other day I was in the Undergrad Library comp lab, trying to print out some documents. Apparently half of the printers were broken, so each printer was servicing about 40 computers. What's horrible is that on my side of the comp lab, an Adobe document was stuck in the printer queue.
Here's the printer queue:

What's weird is that some Adobe documents will take forever to print (send to printer) while others go really fast. In any case, I was getting tired of waiting for the printers. I wanted to get back to my room and watch TV.
I waited about two minutes, said "screw this," then bumped the priority on my document to high. This allowed my document to print right in the middle of the other print job. Ha ha!
I love knowing how to do stuff like that. Those other suckers were left waiting for at least another 5 minutes while that Adobe document was printing!
Heheheheh.
(P.S. If you wanna know how to boost your priority levels at any UNC comp lab so your document will print before everyone else's, let me know).
