Debacle at Work
Today at work I was dismantaling a computer lab and moving its computers into various rooms around the Middle School. (The computer lab is being turned into a regular classroom) I was given a spreadsheet telling me which computers went to which rooms. After about five hours of work, I had one of the classrooms set up how it was supposed to be. First I removed the four old computers and monitors and put them under a stairwell in the complete opposite corner of the school. After this I moved in four of the computers and monitors from the computer lab, hooked them up, organized all of the wires, installed the necessary printers and software, and then finished up with some more tidying of the wires and whatnot. I stepped back to admire my work and was very pleased with how it was looking. I was also feeling rather tired and run down since this was all done in above 90 degree and humid indoor weather.
Then it took a turn for the worse.
My supervisor happened to be walking by the room I was in at this point. She saw me and came in looking rather confused. “What are you doing in here?” she asked. “I set up the computers like you asked me to.” I replied. At this point I received a confused look from her.
“This is room 314, I told you to move the computers into room 415″ was what she said after a few moments of staring at me with incredulity. “No it’s not” I replied. “Look at the sheet you gave me.”
I then showed her the sheet that clearly said room 314 was to receive the new computers. “Oh, that was a typo” responded my supervisor.
Now tomorrow I must undo my 5 hours of work and move them all into room 415….
Oh my goodness! What a disgraceful turn of events. I feel the pain of the Deucemaster. A hard working computer technician deserves better respect for his work! The computer lab he newly equipped should stay the way it is!
I don’t like your supervisor. At all. 415 isn’t 314, so if she thinks you were supposed to know that…AHH
debacle is a fun word
okay lets look at this from a more analytical method to show that in fact a woman should not be leading a deuce when it comes to computers (as follows):
use your number pad 415 okay now in order for 314 to be a typo that means the 4 goes to 3 which is across the pad so it cant have been a numpad typo (figures)
look at the no numpad numbers and you will see that if in fact it was as terrible a typo as it seems it would have been 3`4 which is clearly NOT a number
todd, take my .22 so it rattles around her brain first
