Not sure. I don't think they have a saint for that. I knwo our it department doesn't fix 'm.
I don't think there's saint for printers. A couple of weeks ago I wanted to install a new printer. Had to call the company providing our network for that. It ended up in us not having any printer accessible except for the big colour one (the one down now). Tink it took 3 days til they fixed it. 2 days ago I was asked to do a customer survey thingy for said company. They did not get a good rating of me for sure!
Based on the above, yeah, I guess I'm in a rut. Its not really a good rut, its just at this point I'm doing things because I have to and not because I want to, and it not only relates to work (which is normal, at least in the accounting world), but relates to not fun home activities as well. It just isn't really moving anywhere I guess, and I think my wife is in denial about being in the same rut. Maybe I'm in the wrong thread. Lol.
All measurements are dumb, but there are some significant advantages of metric over imperial. The first being that all units are derived from 7 base units (meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, candela). It makes engineering significantly easier. For example the unit for energy (a joule) is equivalent to a kg.m2/s2 and a Watt is a joule / second = kg.m2/s3. Also all power is measured in Watts regardless of whether it is motive power, electrical power etc. So when dealing with a pump, you can work out the size of an electric motor without any unit conversions.
I do know the feeling.
that's a d_z^2 orbitalToo much to reply to too little entusiam to do so, so I'll all leave you with a photo of a hell if I know what the photo is about.
You say that as if there wasn't a unit conversion issue in the past...And yet, this.

Take a vacation while you can. Isn't it past the busy season now?

In simple terms, what is a d_z^2 orbital? Reverse searching the image brings up images and links to black holes. One page for the image says:"Artist’s illustration of a supermassive black hole. Image credit: NASA"
My image had nothing to do with whatever his image was.
Mine was an atomic orbital, and loosely speaking they're mathematical models that show the electron density probability about an atom. There is a table with all of them and a few neat pictures on the website. A given orbital can hold only 2 electrons, as is probably shown on that page somewhere
I have a love/hate relationship with orbital theory. My chem students are always asking questions about bonding, I just usually say that this area is beyond the scope of a certificate course. If they persist I tell them to google orbital hybridisation, that usually shuts them up.
And yet, this.
And yet NASA now officially uses Metric units.

"Officially" being the key word. Behind the scenes they're just eye balling things, busting out the duct tape.
