Work is Hell...so, something funny.
Thursday, August 22, 2013
I'm pretty sure lots of people have posted about their jobs before, and lots of others have had bad days/weeks/months where their job has been under threat or lost or awful.
It's currently my turn through that mill. But as a great man once said, "when you're going through hell, keep going". It wasn't Milton.
Since I'm on the subject of work, and since I currently don't like my work situation very much, I thought I'd eek out a little joy by making some of my colleagues smile by being satirical about something we all see regularly.
These are incident ticket summary lines. Their job is to tell other teams what the issue is. I have [redacted] things where they might identify the company I work for, which isn't a bad company really, and of course I'm not sharing any customer information.

Fluke Robin electrical installation
- Biff! Pow! Ker-Sparks! The only way this makes sense is if it refers to the Boy Wonder installing a new gadget in the Bat Cave, but by accident. Which is even more baffling than the summary line itself.
Milton Keynes centre: does it exist?
- This is going to keep me awake at night. This is either a powerful existential query or an excuse to don the Pith Helmet and go explorin'.

Nottingham is full

Advised he will need to do it online

Are the rules going to change?
- No. Monopoly has always been played this way.
Stuck
- yes...but where?

Husband calling about wife
