crazdgamer,

Sometime in June [some_guy] will hold a Youth Forum in the Media center. We need the event to be recorded. Do you have recording equipment as well as a microphone?

What type of recording do you need?

We have a video camera which we use for press conferences.

We don't have any audio recording devices, however.

We were looking for tape recording.

A tape recording? No kidding!

(WHAT KIND OF TAPE YOU DUMMY? THE KIND YOU LISTEN TO, OR THE KIND YOU LOOK AT AND LISTEN TO?)

Talk to someone who cares !

To the management in my company:

If you are looking directly at me and asking a question, I am assuming you are asking me something. When I answer, if you say "I was not talking to you" - next time you spill coffee on your laptop or need help after hours you can have the joy of listeing to me tell you to call someone who cares before I hang up the phone and go back to bed at 3am.

If you expect favours from me you better pay respect.
That is all.

thank god for new kids

[valiskeogh.livejournal.com]

the new kid got a call on the radio today. the guy who normally covers this zone in the hospital had already left, they needed a keyboard in the PACU (Post Anesthesia Care Unit, basically where you go after you have surgery or whatever and you're coming out of general anesthetic).

the new kid didn't know where it was, so i walked him over there.

they have small carts with computer setups near each bed. they pointed to one and said that was the one giving them the problems. keyboard wasn't working. NORMALLY i'd find some sort of small fix that the users didn't think to check. like, it not being plugged in or something. not this time.

the nurse said "yeah, we had a patient throw up on the keyboard."

....

"go to it new kid!"

the keyboard was wiretied down, as well as the rest of the cables, just about to hell and back. i wasn't going to TOUCH anything, but i was going to cut the new kid some slack. literally. i procured some scissors from the nearest nurse, and SNIP'd the keyboard cable. that let him remove it, unplug the old (now just a wire) from the comp and plug the new one in.
