experiance is knowing you are about to be hosed.

So, yesterday someone from IT asked me for the ip addresses of our departmental printers. I gave him the information he needed, and then said outloud "I wonder how long before all the printers break." Turns out the answer was about 24* hours, since at 2pm all my printers broke. The dude that broke them? He went home at 2:05.

Yes, but I couldn't see how you would be at work at both 2 AM and 2 PM. I know some people work 12 hour shifts but usually not 2 to 2. :-)

I have in fact been at work at 2am and 2pm the next day. Gets harder and harder as I get older.
