[time-nuts] Oh the horror

[Thomas A. Frank]

Since we're telling horror stories...

Circa 1990, I had a really nice strip chart recorder in a half height  
roll-around rack.  Shipped it to the field for some work, everything  
was fine.  Shipped it back; it made it all the way to our facilities  
heavy freight guys in perfect condition.  It was the last item all  
the way at the front of a 40 foot tractor-trailer...

Guy A rolls it quite vigorously toward the back of the truck where  
Guy B is waiting...and B watches and does nothing as it rolls right  
past him, off the end, and falls 4 feet to the pavement.  He then  
hops down, rights the now bent 45 degree rack, and rolls it into the  
building like nothing happened.  While several of were watching the  
whole incident with slack jaws!

My management talks to their management...and I'm still without a  
strip chart recorder to this day.
