    Wasted $36 on an ink cartridge that was the wrong one and I had already opened it when I realised. Really kicking myself. That would’ve been a week of coffees or a nice dinner or several days food. Grrrr. Between this and the $200 fine and uni fees due tomorrow I’m glad I have a pay rise coming up. Sigh. I’ve been in muuuch worse financial situations so I just gotta forget these things and move on.

      That sucks. Ink is a rip off. Is there any possibility you could sell it on eBay for a slightly reduced price to recoup some of that?

      Though the postage and hassle might not be worth it

        Literally giving it away online for free (because I hate wasting things), but nobody’s gonna want an opened one I suspect. There’s no way of telling that all the ink is actually in there…

        Honestly would’ve been cheaper to just go and print all my stuff at officeworks or uni with how much I’ve now spent. But I will suck it up because it’s one less barrier to my INCREDIBLE inertia at efficiently getting uni stuff done. I can print out stuff any time I want now, no excuses about libraries not open or not wanting the hassle of loading stuff on an usb to print.
