This tends to cause problems when it comes to planning.
So here is a funny story that I shared on Tumblr, because I'm not just a dork, I'm dork who's slightly brain fried at the moment:
So today at work, I discovered that when the alarms on our
front doors are in maintenance mode, they don’t make the usual
beep-beep-beep noise, but rather they sound like the alarms from the
Enterprise. And they were going off a lot:
1st time it happened: “Did we just go to Red Alert?”
2nd: “Is it the Klingons or the Romulans this time?”
3rd: “I’m really glad I didn’t wear the red shirt today.” (Yes, I was planning on wearing red this morning, but changed my mind to blue.)
10th: “Where the hell is Lt. LaForge? That sound is really annoying.” Also, our A/C wasn’t really working and it was really hot. Between the malfunctioning alarms and the environmental controls, a full ship’s diagnostic was needed.
As he was packing up, I walked by the technician. He was wearing a blue shirt.
"Isn’t Engineering supposed to be doing that?"
He just gave me a blank look.
No one appreciates my sense of humor.

I think you'd like John Scalzi's "Redshirts," if you haven't read it yet.
ReplyDeleteIt was his Friday also.
ReplyDeleteHope you are succeeding with the Skyriter. Between storms and emergency nets I may get time to pull my parts one out. It should have a good drum and draw band if you need it.
Ha! I did (:
