Quick Question

So let's say that you got into work and discovered that there was no air conditioning and then managed to spill a large cup of water on yourself and all over your desk. After mopping up the flood waters, you decide that you might as well assemble your new computer since you are not terribly busy until 10 and have been putting it off too long. Then you drop the computer on your foot and it turns black and blue immediately. So you put some ice on it and finish plugging everything into the machine: monitor, key board, LAN connection, power supply, only to realize that the power cord does not actually reach the outlet because you have a table at the back of someone else's cubicle.

At what point would you say fuck it and go home?

  2. Go home, go to bed and get up on the other side.

  3. Look on the bright side: in another week and a half, that question won't even be necessary.

    But you were heroic and stuck it out, much to my relief and gratitude*
