Funny Incident

Our team at the office is a clever lot. We handle development of custom applications for our company and the group is a mixed bag of programmers and database specialists. We have a lot of fun on the job, with jokes and humor flowing around keeping everyone’s spirits high and the work is smooth. No one feels Monday blues or tiredness.

So yesterday one of the guys called me from my desk and asked me for my help. He said that since I am good at SQL, I should be able to help at this difficult SQL problem. So I walked over and he asks me to configure a printer at his system. Man am I flabbergasted / pissed / amused at the same time. I asked him what the relation of SQL and configuring a Printer is. He says that they are both to be installed on the same machine.

So anyways we are all laughing and then I help him to setup the printer and he opens word and types “Hello” and gives a print. Some problem with the security and so I configure the second network printer and when we are about to test this one, another co-worker (who was watching and laughing) says it wont work. We ask why and he says that you should write “Hello World” and then it will work.
