Years ago, before the era of flat-screens, my monitor at work kept making a zapping noise and briefly going blank.
A minute or two after I filed a #helpdesk ticket asking for help with this problem, I had to reply to my own ticket and explain sheepishly that it was being caused by my snowy boots, which I'd put on top of the monitor to warm up, dripping into the monitor and repeatedly shorting out the capacitor. 🤦
The fix was a paper towel under the boots.

Okay, #storytime: Decades ago, when I was probably 19 or 20, I wrote a snarky rant titled "Why the Paper Clip Sucks" about my disdain for the animated paper clip and posted it to my college web site. It ended up being quoted by @davew on his site "Scripting News", which was one of the first blogs!

Sadly (or maybe not so sadly), after I graduated from college, my site went away. I have a saved copy of that essay on my machine, and maybe I will repost it some day.

Now I feel old! #XennialAngst

#StoryTime

In the mid-‘90s, my company was trying out a phone-based digital assistant called Wildfire. The voice was female (of course), and it would do things like play your voicemail messages, delete them, save them, etc. The prompt was “Do me a favor,” and it would acknowledge by responding “What kind of favor?” (Yeesh.)

It was hosted in the US, and I was in London, so I accessed it long-distance through our PBX. The connection was not that great, so sometimes Wildfire would not understand the prompt, and I had to say “Do me a favour” over and over again, getting increasingly annoyed each time.

I was in an open office, and it was only after I finished one of these phone sessions and saw everyone else staring at me in consternation that I found out that in British English, “do me a favour” was a sarcastic expression along the lines of “come the fuck on.” Everyone thought I was berating a real person on the phone.

There is no subtext to this toot.

You didn't ask for it, but here we go; another short for all y'all. Ongoing, still.

FELINE

Trembling, I knocked tentatively just to not alert anyone in the other rooms of the hotel. Susan heard me anyway. She opened the door, and let me in. No sooner was I inside than she quietly closed the door again. Then she looked at me sternly, "You know I could be in real trouble?" "It was your idea!" I whispered back, and she shrugged, "Well…"
