Boss sent overpaid IT know-nothings home – until an ON switch proved elusive

try working in schools

I remember fixing an inkjet printer which was full of rice. Turns out the kids had been making little food related collages and put them on the wall above the printer whilst wet, most of the glue and rice fell into the printer over night and nobody realised.

So I went out, took the printer to bits, cleaned it and printed off a couple of sheets to prove it was fine.

The next day we got an angry call from the headteacher about the "printer not working again, clearly your technician didn't fix it properly" So my boss having no backbone sent me out again to take the grief.

Turns out it was pasta this time.
