What is the most annoying thing that ever happened to you at work? I do not mean the worst thing, but the one that *really* had you going: This was fucking unnecessary!
![]() Here's mine (I am still boiling): I use my own, private PC at work as it is twice as fast and has a CD-toaster. I also bought my own network cable, as back when I first needed it I didn't have a job here, so I couldn't get one form the institute. So now we moved to a new building, scrapped our old toekn ring and BCN hub networks. Now we use Western plugs. And we lack cables. So i lent one fo our two cables to our secretary and used one for my PC. Today, I come to the office at 8, check mails, later leave. The PC stays on. I come back late at night, try to check mail and CFC - no connection. Well, with the Iraq war on, no surprise... 30 minutes later - no connection. Even our own university homepage cannot be found. I start to panick: is the network card damaged from the move? OR what? ![]() Then, I start to check things. Suddenly, I see that my network cable is......... GONE!!!!!! ![]() Someone took it, and didn't leave a message! I find it next door at the secretary's Mac. Now she doesn't know anything about these things, so someone else must have 'helped' her - and helped himself to my cable! And what makes me really mad: the cable was plugged intothe wall, then ran parrallel to the one leading to the Mac, then lay there on the table not connected to anything. :nuke:

I'm glad to say I'm selfemployed and I don't have those problems (any more). In our (me and my business partner)office we own all our pc's, networkcards, cables, coffee machines and the likes. It's a relieve.

Brilliant. Do you make any money out of it? I'm sitting next to the coffee machine all day. Really productive. I'm actually planning to begin a business myself, just opening boxes full of magic cards and then sell them to annoying kids (over the internet, so I won't have to be disgraced by facing them in public)
My project supervisor would have just read two chapters of my life's work, but when I got there, he asked 'when he'd get the piece.' Crap. Happens two times a week btw.
