h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I would be research and development and would go home, but then so would the MD and My Boss and the whole place would shut down until power on, you can't do squat as a programmer with no power.

-- DoctorMO --

The computers are running on backup power, so we can still w**k ... at least until we drop from the heat ...

don't forget to drink water


()

I don't have any! Nobody does! I thought since I had power at home, I'd be fine at w**k, but no dice.

you guys don't have a water fountain or big bottle of water thingy ummm water cooler?


()

The water bottle thingy never gets cleaned, and the last time I changed the bottle, I saw there was green mold in the unit, and I refuse to drink it any more!

I suppose there's the gross water fountain ... last resort!

Our power just came back on, so I'm sure it'll start getting better all the time now! YAY!!!!!

yay

water with mold is good for you

you know I think I know what caused the outage....it's that guy from the Airplane movie that pulls the plug for all the lights on the runway then laugh's


()

Yes, yes, it was Johnny!!

"What you you make of this report, Johnny?"

"Well, I could make a hat, or a nice little brooch......."

Or a teridactal?

-- DoctorMO --

Exactly!

I work in a castle/museum on the third floor. When the lights went out, it was pitch black on the first floor because of the black-out blinds in the period rooms. The allarm system went nuts and when we went to shut it off, it said that there was water detected in all the rooms of the basement. When we went to check, we found the administrator stuck in the elevator.
This morning, the automatic fountain system was malfunctioning.

if you work in a castle..couldn't you just grab a tourch


()

Ah, but that would have set off the fire alarm.
It was very annoying. I did grab the flashlight to check for water, and found that the loud explosion was the start-up of the emergency generator. Apparently it only powers the alarms, because the emergency lights didn't work.

We know where their priorities lie! Make sure nothing gets stolen, but make no allowances for the human beings!
