All I Can Do Is Try…

I’m slightly saddened to say that this is the final installment of A Bowl of Stupid for a while.  I’ve run out of stuff to say.  If things crop up in my memory then I’ll write about them.  It has, however, been a nice 32 part series that lasted over about 9 months, so I’ve [...]

This is quite a simple one I think, but it relates to a previous incident – the Short Man Syndrome one to be precise. It’s the incident in that article that says I installed some stuff on a machine and it went just fine.  It did go just fine, however I’ve found a picture that [...]

A small disclaimer: there is nothing wrong with people not knowing how to use computers. There is something wrong with people who do not know how to use computers and then apply (and subsequently get) a job which uses them a lot.  It’s especially irritating when it states in the advert the computing skills are [...]

Welcome to the 29th edition of my bowl of stupid posts.  I’m still able to knock them out.  I guess it helps that I have a fair few pictures stored up on my phone of my time in my last job.  This is, perhaps unfortunately, another icky one. One day someone came in and wanted [...]

Another ‘Dirty-boy’ post for your enjoyment. One day during a holiday period I was assigned to upgrade the RAM in a room of computers elsewhere on the site.  There were only about five or six computers and I upped their RAM a fair amount.  It wasn’t a difficult task and I was quite pleased to [...]

You might be able to tell from the appearance of the term ‘dirty-boy’ in the title of this entry that it is a little different from my normal Bowl of Stupid entries.  The reason being is that I came across a few photographs of my time at work which were, frankly, disgusting.  It’s the kind [...]

I’m not sure that this one needs a story. One day I was in one of the teaching rooms shutting blinds before locking up the room as it wasn’t going to be used again that day.  I looked at some stuff that had been put up on the wall in an effort to stop the [...]

Really, this one should be titled “Did you eat a bowl of WIN for breakfast?” Remember these ones?  They were not our best friends.  They ruined so many of our days despite not having any fully functioning braincells between them. Well, one day I had to go up to their office again.  When I got [...]

Can you believe this ‘column’, or rather regular series of mine has been going for a whole six months now?  I knew I could drag it out as I recalled stuff that had happened over the years. This entry relates to a department that I have mentioned at least 1-2-3-4, yeah at least four times [...]

I can’t even remember how long ago this was, but what I do remember was that it was during one of the holidays.  It’s oh, so…quiet!  And, I can’t even remember why I was sent over to this building.  Oh wait, yes I can! There’s a little building, it’s a bit of an outpost and [...]
