  • Subject: ... More computer horror stories

1)  I used to work for a consultant.  One day a coworker was at the local
office of Wang computers working there.  She got locked into a room
overnight.  It did have a phone and she used it to call her daughter to
tell her she won't be coming home tonight.  Was very grateful when they
finally showed up in the morning.  The trash can was starting to look more
and more like a toilet and she couldn't have waited much longer.

2)  In our computer room you have to hold a button down while pushing open
the door to get out.  Clearly labeled as such.  A coworker remarked how
someone may panic in a fire.  He took offense to my remark that it may help
to remove stupid people from the gene pool.  This person stars in the next
story.

3)  We had a temporary power outage.  All of our PC's have their own UPS.
Coworker's PC went down shortly.  Way too short.  Coworker started whining.
I checked out the UPS.  I promptly removed the electric heater from the
UPS.  This fella is frustrating but he does provide a little humor at
times, at his expense.
