As I was taking my lunch out of the fridge for reheating (yes I'm 15 minutes early, so what?) I came to the realization that I had no idea when I'd prepared the meal that these leftovers were from. Usually this isn't a problem because my leftovers generally go directly to freezer then I just treat them like a LeanCuisine. This one however came ( Read more... )

But it's 0C outside so there is very little chance the house will warm up overnight and hubby has a cold. He did mutter several times about the temperature, but once he was tucked ( Read more... )

My boss is collecting the dumb user moments of the year, and we had one today. Our DHCP/DNS server went on the blink this morning. It wasn't serving up IPs and the name lookups wouldn't work (basically the network was down). While the IT team was in a meeting we got a call from a user asking if there were problems with the network. My teammate ( Read more... )
