Post Your Stupid Moment of the Day

[Datech]

Did you have a stupid moment today? Did someone else do something that made you ? Post it here so we can all laugh with you and at you.

True story: Today, around 10am this morning, our Financial contractor, the woman who is in charge of making sure a multi-million dollar tech firm stays on the right track, instant messages me. Here is the Yahoo Instant Message:

Daniel, is the internet down?

Now granted, this lady is far from computer savvy. But seriously, I didn't know what to say, I just told my underling to go help her. Makes me wish I had a hand in the hiring process...

What was your OMGWTFBBQ Stupid moment of the day?

This would only make sense if the ports for yahoo where open but the web was down. Or some sort of proxy, shaping issue.

Not today, but I had a /facepalm moment on Saturday. Was working on my parents' computer, and needed to put a 120mm fan in the side panel. Had the keyring I needed to get into the shop on my left index finger. Was carrying the side panel, dad's 18v drill, the holesaw and another drill bit for a pilot hole all at once. Got about halfway to the shop and thought I didn't have the keys. So I turned around and walk back to the house, set everything down on the table that is on their front porch, and that is when I realized that said keys were indeed in my possession.

This conversation took various turns and lasted for a good 1 hour, whilst laughing epicly at someone who obviously has nfi :p And theres my other interwebs nickname :o

I honestly couldn't make any sense of that conversation so I suppose I could use this as another facepalm moment?

I spent hours installing a fresh copy of XP for a customer, downloaded a hundred updates including two service packs. I then installed anti-virus and was just about done when I realized: "Oh, the work order says they wanted Vista"

Slipstream. It'll save you a buttload of time.
