Great quote and play on words 2

I found this amongst a selection of items in the Funny Times with the byline "Collected by M. D. Rosenberg". There was no other attribution.

"A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a workstation. What more can I say."

We actually refer to PEBCAK errors in front of users. (Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard)

Where I work, they're known as "Problems with the C2K Interface."

[Chacalinc]

we say: "this is a layer 8 problem (OSI): chair-keyboard interface".

[mharroff]

aka the ID Ten T error. (ID10T)

 

[AngelB]

Also called the PEBKAC or PICNIC error:

Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all

The first link has 1995 to 1999 and the second link 2000 to the present.

Thanks for those links. I think I'm going to be visiting The Register regularly. Quite entertaining.

Almost 7.30 p.m. and I'm still in the office... Yep, I think that I will start suggesting that saying to those who are the reason for me being here at this time...

Darn this made me laugh this morning, and I really needed it.

I had the 5 Phases of a Project in my office for a long time. Yes, to many it's 6 Phases of a Project, but we never got to the last one. At that point you were sucked in by the black hole of the project.

I love the sound of deadlines as they whooosh by.

I think someone on Tek-Tips has a variation on the skydiving one in their sig: "If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's not for you.

A cubicle sign that I've had up in the past (albeit, not where many could see it):

We the willing, lead by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much for so long, with so little, that we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.

 

[Rieekan]

Also, I think it's a great time to mention the Chronicles of George...

Lots of great reading there...

2 of my favorites, that are similar to the ones elanor posted:

1) Obviously you have mistaken me for someone who gives a s**t.

2) I am evil, and must be destroyed

Hi,
I have one of those demotivation posters hanging in my cubicle:


IRRESPONSIBILITY

No single raindrop believes it is responsible for the flood



Sometimes I feel surrounded by raindrops...
