HP Laserjet?

I think you can press continue for it to try on A4 or whatever is available.

Wrong settings for your printer.

Swap to A4.

I was an American film, letter is standard in the US so it just means the 'Paper Cassette' needs loading with (letter) paper.

"PC Load Letter"? What the **** does that mean?

Reckon sooner or later all rational people get this thought bouncing around their heads.
Most do nothing about it.
Some try something else, find that is just as dull and pays peanuts and come running back (chap I know bought bar in spain with in-laws, he was back 6 months later and £50k lighter....). Respect to anyone at least trying to do something else !
Many keep going till they have acquired so many commitments, house, family, car, lifestyle that it just isn't an option to bail.
That would be me but I am furiously stashing some of the spare cash to give me options down the line.
Good luck all...

You're stashing cash but sadly the govt is printing "wealth" faster than you can earn it.

Good luck. You'll need it.

ANd how are the TPS reports coming along ?

And I'd like you to work at the weekend.

Did you all grow up imagining yourselves sitting in an office 9 to 6 when you are older?

I didn't, but here I am, stuck in an office and churning out stupid Word documents and Powerpoint slides week in week out.

The money is good, I am good at what I do (it's difficult not to be) - but it's soul-destroyingly, mind-numbingly unsatisfying.

How I envy people who do what they love, and get paid well for it!

What a waste it is to spend a whole life like this!

It is your own fault.

And that we have a seven figure bank balance even though we are homeless.

It goes up every week. Come back when it's eight.

[zeitghost]

It's not your whole life. You will be able to retire when you are 76. Or maybe 84.

Dear old Gideon has just changed it to 96.

Who does that then?

The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. I reckon some self love every morning will sort you.
