Back in prehistoric times, when they had those single-platter, fourteen inch removable disks (were they all yellow?), I went to a customer and they proudly showed off their new rack that held the disks vertically, like they were a collection of 45’s. I said “that’s good, but the data will fall towards the bottom. You won’t lose anything, but it’ll take longer to access because the disk has to rotate around to where the data is.” The next day, the disks were stacked. I never did come clean.
And I’ve done the “I can’t use this! It was printed upside-down” line, but I never got overtime for it.
I had a situation where someone printed a brochure in portrait. I told them it was okay, but I would have done it landscape. (Yep, that worked better for them.)

So, how many hours of overtime did you get out of turning it over?

Always happy when Carolina shows up.

It was a great joke. Too bad Rita is Rita.

I wonder if the lack of a sense of humor could be considered a disability?

Take the overtime and work on something else that needs doing at time and a half.

In this case, is “overtime” the same as “extending his sentence”?

My level of humor meter is rather high so the usual fart jokes get dead air from me.

I have yet, to see anyone walk the way Carolina does, without falling over.
