Tech Problems

I've noticed a trend with my SO - he buys an item or gadget on whim, with not much thought put into it. So far, we have a TV that is kind of low quality and a printer that has now broken after 10 months of little use. It's frustrating, because my money was involved on these purchases too. We have a PS4 e hardly use. He's bought a kindle, a wii, a tablet - all unused. Meanwhile, I still used the DS I bought ten years ago until I bought a 3DS for my Christmas present. I used my nook from 2010 until one of the buttons finally broke. When he bought the printer, it was a on the fly-no thought-online order that took forever to pick up in store; the order was sent to the wrong store. I know I should be grateful for his thoughtfulness ("She needs a printer RIGHT NOW to do job application stuff!") but at that time it actually prevented me from doing the thing I needed to do - print, sign, and scan back a job thing. And now it's broken, and by the looks of it this is a common problem for this model.

It doesn't help that I'm stressed by planning my first on my own trip. It's actually the first trip I've ever planned (our Hawaii trip had to be cancelled before the planning could begin.) It's a once in a lifetime trip, and this one day I'm printing things out for has a lot of pieces that could go wrong. What happens if my train ticket I bought 64 days early can't be printed at the station? What happens if they can't scan my phone - oh, and I'm in a completely different country and continent, so who knows if I can even pull it up in my email?)

I think I need to go away from tech the rest of the night. I can't handle another thing breaking on me.
