Flexability
Sep. 25th, 2003 04:54 pmSo two of the computers in the Treehouse computer garden weren't working. One of them had a software problem, the other had a broken monitor. The floor manager gets the bright idea of swapping monitors so that we'll at least have one working computer there.
A good notion, but what followed was annoying to say the least. The computers are in this cute cabinet that looks like bushes and flowers and things, and you can just see the monitor in the front. From behind they have this little access door. Unfortunately the cabinets were built when the treehouse had little apple things instead of modern computers. You know, thos compact apples that schools used to all have.
Anyhow, that meant that the access door was very small. Just barely small enough to squeeze a monotor in through, and the actual computer itself was set below it, reachable only thorugh a very narrow gap. So here I am, somehow recruited to do this, with my head stuck throught he acess door, my nose in the dust bunnies behind the monitor, and my arm down through the gap, trying to unscrew the monitor cable by thouch from a very awkward angle.
*grin* Good thing I'm flexible.
