Note to plumbers: Payday is Friday, hot is on the left and NEVER chew your nails.
Should have landed in one of those $shithole countries.
“it had to be done from the outside and we did not take the opportunity to send a plumber (out) at 10,000 meters”
Heroism of that sort might be appreciated, but should not be expected.
“It says ‘sprocket’, not ‘socket’!”
Some time ago I was waiting for a conference call meeting to begin. After a while - and trying to find out what was going on on my own - I discovered the meeting was canceled. I had not been notified about this nor had two other co-workers. No email, no text, no phone call. I had to go looking for the info myself.
Why was our meeting canceled?
Because an earlier meeting about “improving communications” within our company had not finished on time and they didn’t bother relaying that fact to those participating in the later meeting.
Priceless irony.
