3. Mine Is On The CPU Itself... They Mistakenly Marked It As "POWER"
Whenever something goes wrong or a program freezes, I just press the ANY key. Works every time.

7. hehehehehehe ...
Homer: "To Start Press Any Key". Where's the ANY key? I see Esk <"ESC">, Catarl <"CTRL">, and Pig-Up <"PGUP">. There doesn't seem to be any ANY key. Woo! All this computer hacking is making me thirsty. I think I'll order a TAB. Awp...no time for that now, the computer's starting.

:evilgrin:

12. Last month, I said hit the space-bar...
and the girl asked which key that was! She has an MBA from a well-known college, and has had a computer on her desk for the five years she's worked here. She replied, "oh, space! I've never heard it called the space BAR." Sigh, and she makes 8.75 times what I do. I print the checks, so I know that.

14. OK. I'm curious.
What the heck does someone so ignorant of the space bar do to earn such a high salary?

15. I don't know.
> do to earn such a high salary?

No, I'm not kidding. I don't know what in the hell her job is. She knows nothing about bookkeeping or taxes, which is how my employer makes most of their money. Even though she has an MBA from a good school, she doesn't sit in on management meetings. Also, she wasn't hired for her looks. The first six months she was here, I thought she was hired to be the office manager since the previous one retired just before she arrived, but then we hired someone for that job. I replaced her computer about a month ago, and she didn't have *any* files she wanted copied over to the new one. I also manage the phone and voicemail systems, and I've jokingly thought about listening to her on the phone or to her messages, but she only rarely uses the phone or receives calls.

She makes about $140k a year, so you'd think she would be doing something important. I just don't know what it is. Great, now I've just got to figure-out what she's doing.

16. Thanks for answering.
Wow.

I gotta get me a job like that where I can make big bucks for not doing anything!

I work as a modestly paid receptionist, and if I ever had to switch computers, there are tons of files that I would need to have copied from my computer.
