That week in 2018 when my plotter ate 40 drawings in one go

I was working a big commercial job downtown and my plotter just started chewing up sheets one after another. By Wednesday I had 40 ruined drawings and the client was breathing down my neck. Has anyone else had a machine just give up mid-project like that?

Machines always know when you're in a hurry, don't they.

Slammed my coffee mug down so hard yesterday I think the work fridge rattled. Printer starts making that grinding noise like it's got rocks inside it, then the screen flashes 'paper jam' with no paper even near it. Had to stand there for ten minutes pretending I wasn't about to launch the thing out the window.
