I am engaged in an epic war with technology this morning. It's like my own personal Terminator war. Since I arrived at work I've done essentially nothing but fix other peoples' computer problems, and in one miraculous case solve a malfunctioning website by the power of my presence alone. If you are having computer problems this morning: BE HEALED!

Well, worth a shot.

Dead Isle Chapter Twelve is posted, also. It would have been posted sooner, but I've been waiting patiently for the Emergency Drill to go because I don't want to post and then not be able to update all the places it's linked because I'm off safety-captaining, but apparently they're having trouble getting the loudspeakers to work.

This bodes well for an actual emergency.

I wish all problems could be solved by power of presence )) would make life so much easier, heh.

In my last few jobs, I was able to make malfunctioning photocopiers, fax machines and computers work simply by being in the same room. One woman couldn't get the fax to work unless I stood next to her - she was pressing all the right buttons, just needed me to be watching for it to work!

It's a very useful talent...

One of my colleagues plugged in her phone this morning and blew a fuse to our entire side of the office. Everyone's computers died - and bear in mind, we're all computer modellers. Luckily nobody had anything too vital going on and I think we all managed to recover from the situation pretty well.

WOW. And I thought we had problems with the kitchen fuses....

My router is shot and I work from home and the voip needs a specific router that I have to get shipped. My job won't pay me for the 2 days it will take to get it to me.

Ugh, sucks :(

I envy your power to fix things by your presence alone. I have the exact opposite talent: making previously functioning electronics start acting funny without actually doing anything.

I once got three cash registers jammed at work while performing routine transactions. Fun times!

Well, if there IS an actual emergency, perhaps you could get these guys (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=x0jBF912xYY) assembled... err.. involved?

OH MY GOD

I KEEP WATCHING

IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER

Hawkeye FTW.

AHAHAHAHA YES

Meh, they really should have had a Dukes of Hazzard explody-arrow for Hawkeye, either one of them. The rest of it actually worked as a late 70s/early 80's Avengers parody....the MASH Hawkeye just kind of spoiled it.

And Paul Lynde would have made an awesome camp Loki!

PAUL LYNDE AS LOKI

Welcome to my world... because that's basically a normal day for me.

Well, unless I'm in a mood, in which case everything that should work dies. Seriously, I've taken out an entire building's network that way.
