Oblivious Starfish

If, within the space of 72 hours, I have to:

    * Reassemble your vacationing cube neighbor's keyboard prior to installing some software b/c you took it upon yourself to "play a joke on him"
    * Replace your computer chassis (basically swapping hard drives) b/c of your incessant complaints about a "noisy fan" that you attempted to address by OPENING THE CHASSIS
    * Repair a combo drive b/c your "DVD disc" isn't being recognized, only to learn that YOU WEREN'T ISSUED ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE

You can expect to be the guest of honor at a come to Jesus meeting. The part of Jesus will be played by a very special guest star. You won't recognize him, but he will make quite an impression, I promise...

I've done the last two within the space of half an hour at least once a week. 72 hours isn't that bad.

Also work on your typing and it won't matter how the keys arranged =P

I find one of the simplest forms of security is using a QWERTY keyboard layout and then switching it to dvorak in the OS. People think it's voodoo magic.

My co-workers tried the key switching trick on me once without having noticed that, as the daughter of a typing teacher, I never bother to look at the keys.

It took me two weeks to notice.

EPIC PRANK FAIL.

We wrapped a co-worker's cube completely and entirely with plastic wrap. Cube, keyboard, mouse, monitor, books, freaking CHESS BOARD with individually wrapped chess pieces, pens, cups...

Heh.

I was actually the point man for peanuts, but I couldn't source 'em in time.

Last day at Nokia when the company I worked for lost the support contract we wrapped a team lead's desk in Nokia-branded wrapping paper we found in the back of a cupboard while clearing out. Desk, keyboard, computer, monitor, his 'Sykes Pride Award' certificate, everything.

There's a video on youtube somewhere.

We once had a guy who was a complete nutjob about having his monitor clean (glass tube 20" Sony tube Sun branded monitor). So, we got some kettle cooked potato chips (crisps, for you folks across the pond), dumped out the chips, turned the bag inside out and wiped the grease all over said monitor.

He walked in for the day, looked at the monitor, said "I'm going to go get a cup of coffee. I expect that to be cleaned off when I get back".

Apparently, he was not amused.

I own that monitor. That specific monitor. It weighs eighty gazillion pounds and it is my best friend. And if someone did that to my monitor, I would sweetly ask them to clean my stuff back up and plan their untimely demise.

It does weigh eighty gazillion pounds and is so huge that it takes two people to unbox it safely (at least, that's what we determined). One person can move it, but getting it out of the box takes help.

Try getting it up and down the stairs. This is the third place in a row I've lived where I've had to lug it up (and, eventually down) stairs or a ridiculous hill.
