It's Been One of Those Days - Tell Us About It!

Post by Paolo »

Something freaky happened today at work.

All at the same time, the batteries of my ecig, sitting on the desk and not connected, began flashing.

The smoke alarm began beeping.

My laptop froze up.

The desktop spontaneously rebooted.

The Noritsu 3011 began throwing error codes. (Google it, to see what it looks like)

My cell phone rang, with no message and nothing showing.

My boss's inkjet printer locked up and began 'thumping'.

His new-used laptop, with 7, which I had to set up for him since he's helpless, came online to the network - after an hour of fighting with it - and said it had 319 updates to get. I had no clue they'd even HAD that many?!

Not to mention all the other things that went wrong, but it seemed that every single piece of electronic equipment in the building suddenly freaked out all at once?!

So, how was your day?

Anything bizarre?

Tell us about it.

I managed to crank out almost 1,000 prints for some dingbat today, fighting a shorting out laser control board, cranky chemistry, and an interfering boss.

Shortly after I got done, the bleach chemistry (stops developer) went south and I had to stay over an hour to drain it out (20 litres of it) and refill the tank with water so the rack won't stick over the weekend.

One of those days...

I only went food shopping in the rain and did a load of laundry.

Gee, what a dull life I lead.

Nothing like you adventurers . . .

Bad bosses, hateful customers, malfunctioning machines and cat puke . . .

what else could you wish for?

A clear sky with millions of stars, yep, star gazing.

My stuff arrived from the mainland except I am renting a small room and so I am now paying rent storage on my stuff, sigh no PC just this tablet.
