Frustration

Setting: Geography Masters Computer Lab, Kings College, The Strand, London.

Immediately in front of the author: Desktop Computer
Slightly to the author's left: Laptop
Eleven O'Clock: Printer

The draft introduction, literature review and methodology are saved on the laptop.
The author wants to print the draft introduction, literature review and methodology.
The desktop's connected to the printer.
The laptop is 15cm away from the desktop.
The laptop is 2.5m away from the printer.
The flashdisc is sitting on the desk at the flat in Finsbury Park.
The wireless has stopped working (it worked upstairs in the cafe half an hour ago, but now is producing small yellow triangles with exclamation marks, and speaks of limited or no connectivity and IP addresses) so the DI,LR and M cannot be emailed.
The author wants to cry.
The library is closed due to a power cut.

Something is wrong with this network.
