(no subject)
My coworker just came into my makeshift office (a freezing cold "conference room") with a calculator she claimed was broken. "I pulled it out of my desk and it doesn't work," she explained, "can you order me a new one?"
I knew immediately that this was not necessary. You see, one glance told me that it was a solar powered calculator and it would need a minute to soak up some light after being stored in a desk for a long period of time. I handed it back to her and told her to try it again in...oh, about 30 seconds.
Now, I know I've become the resident IT person (Nick Burns, the Company Computer Guy, if you will) but this isn't even difficult technology. It's a fucking calculator!
Come on.
