        Knowing nothing from PC World ever works.

        Having to tell everyone never to go to PC World because nothing from PC World ever works.

        Having to fix things for people who bought things from PC World.

        Having to fix things for people who bought things from PC World despite you telling them nothing from PC World ever works.

        Out of desperation and urgency, buying something for yourself from PC World just before they shut on a Saturday.

        Being told by Mrs RC "I told you so" when I cannot get it to work.

              Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    The highly regarded stupid bitch at Xxx City Council, who was supposedly a Senior Project Manager, yet who frequently announced "My projects don't have issues" and she was believed by the Head of Projects (an over-promoted incompetent) to be the epitome of perfect project management.

                      Oh this one is super keen, and at only an 8% margin (of a crappy Eng. bod rate).....and on meeting him today...also has a face you really wouldn't mind punching as I don't think he could get any uglier. The world's looking brighter.
