Murphy, of the law, would have loved a day like today when his namesake law seemed to play out to the T.
Some of the events that have kept different folks in the workplace busy so far....
-Printing pages upon pages of some document only to finally realize upon picking up the print job from the printer, that for some inexplicable reason, the printer gods decided to print out the document....multiple copies of it....with only a few words on each page...thereby eating up all the paper and toner inside the printer
-Toner cartridge spews spent toner all over oneself when one tries to fix it
-One falls asleep during a meeting, jerks up awake so violently on realizing that one is still in a meeting, that one spills coffee in ones mug on ones trousers
-Faulty fire alarm setting off sprinklers, causing the whole building to be evacuated
-Leave a perfectly normally operating computer switched on before exiting the building (because of aforesaid alarm) and wait for the fire dept to investigate when its safe to get back in, wait 25 mins in the sun for said truck to actually show up, and when its declared safe to go back into the building finding out your computer now says "No OS found" and one is left staring at the black expanse that is the monitor
-Truly realizing the meaning of the expression "oh s***!I'm screwed" when one realizes that there is no back-up for the data that exists on the aforesaid computer
And its barely lunchtime yet :P....what a great day (NOT!) this is turning out to be.
(p.s. All true events, thankfully nothing I was involved in....yet...)
