Yes, I'm pushing a cart

Yes, I'm pushing an empty cart

Yes, I've been subjected to your kind of empty cart comment on the elevator before

Just because my cart is empty now doesn't mean my cart has been empty the whole time

No, I'm not just pushing around a cart

No, I'm not too lazy to take the stairs

No, I'm not just using the cart as a cupholder/toolbelt

You wouldn't have peeped a word if you were on the elevator with me on the way down when five computers were stacked on my cart

I'm sorry I haven't contacted Scotty to magically beam the cart to its storage closet, and so I have to push an empty cart there

Please leave your comments to yourself

student lab with about 25 computers in a basement.
Said lab computer is a model that fries motherboards after about 5 years always on. I've already replaced 9 motherboards - same problem with each one.
My "workbench" is on the second floor.


Empty cart when I go down to pick up the computers
Full cart when I take 'em to my workbench
Full cart when I take 'em back down with new motherboards
Empty cart going back to the office

[ace-brickman.livejournal.com]

Yes, we all know that those lazy techs never do anything except when they are spending their time doing nonsence like pushing empty carts around the building. Trying to fool us into thinking they actually work.

[ace-brickman.livejournal.com]

exactly.. Then with the empty carts, they think we're trying reeeeaallly hard to not do anything all day

Boy what a boring office. I always get asked for rides. Hey can you push me to X?

[ace-brickman.livejournal.com]

i never thought about that.. maybe i should get a broom or something and push myself back to the office!

[ace-brickman.livejournal.com]

haha... put some rubber bands around the Swiffer for more grip. Doesn't that thing rotate too? great for cornering ;)

[ace-brickman.livejournal.com]

i swiped it too.. someone from in here made it. I don't know if major_error got his sign-making site back up yet, but you can make one of your own. Here's the link to the original post (http://community.livejournal.com/techsupport/939217.html)

[major-error.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's back up.

I really don't feel like trying to find another host right now, so the site is still subject to the 6gig/month transfer limit.

[greeklady.livejournal.com]

There you go!

I always tell them they should be pushing me. That shuts them up really quick. But you do get the spunky ones who say "Ok hop on!" But I have been busted for that before so, no joy rides in the office.

I tried an industrial cart once.

Loaded it full with UPS units and took a little ride. Liked it a lot. Also learned that even though factory floors are spacious it is almost impossible to steer the thing and there are no brakes as well.

No UPS were broken when I crashed into a little elevation. No one knew though.

[ace-brickman.livejournal.com]

yeah, i had two screws, a pocket-sized screwdriver, a couple floppies, and a 20 oz. cup-o-drink on the cart

[ghostdandp.livejournal.com]

thats when you go, in the most sincere voice you can come up with, "Oh I could! You are so good to help me" push the cart to them and then leave them with it.

"Yeah, it has to be taken across campus, through the Poison Swamp and the Pit of Fire, to the storage area. Could you do that for me?"

[jecook]

Or: "Yeah, can you take this to Molten Core and get Gar on it?"

I make signs for occasions like these. Really, I do. You should tape a sign on the cart for when it's empty that says in big letters: "THIS CART REQUIRES CONSTANT SUPERVISION. CALL SUPERINTENDENT OF BUILDING SERVICES IF CART IS SEEN WITHOUT HUMAN CARETAKER."

[shifuimam.livejournal.com]

A+ response. Will use ASAP.

fkuh!@! I just Anonymously Posted...

[ace-brickman.livejournal.com]

it has the workroom's suite number written in shiny silver marker. I like the sign idea though

Re: fkuh!@! I just Anonymously Posted...

[katyism.livejournal.com]

It would give those people something fun to bullshit with you about in the elevator instead of giving you shit for having an empty cart....

If this cart is unsupervised, please return to $ROOM$

Printed and about to be laminated ;)

I've been working on my thesis too long: I saw those and thought "why is that in mathmode?"
*cries from the overuse of LaTeX*

[ace-brickman.livejournal.com]

lol... i work in the math dept.

*Dies laughing*

I've got two signs on my door at work.

one is for the cleaning staff, asking them to not clean my office (and they are following it! Shiny!), and the other one says "End of Month. Do Not disturb".

Seeing as it's almost the Ides of March, I probably should change it accordingly.

[jecook]

hmmm....

"Ides of March. Do not let His Holiness, the Great and Just Ceaser Agustus, into this room."

I wonder who would get the reference, besides my boss and the IT director, who are usually 200 miles south of my office at any given time.

We have a projector that we keep in its "air-travel" case, which is a huge fiberglas box with eight inches of foam padding all around. If one more person says to me "Hey [Forge], goin' on a trip?" when I'm wheeling the projector to another conference room, I'm going to kill them and bury their corpse out in the Smoking Garden.

"Well, my legs get tired sometimes from lugging around the weight of my incredibly huge penis, so I just wheel this cart around to rest it on when I feel fatigued."
