where’s the shit key?

the work day was winding down. it was about 4 o’clock. ella and i were munching on tangerine popsicles when the director of marketing comes over to our area.

“jodi, i just had to enter a helpstar request.”
“ok.”
“my computer doesn’t have a shit key.”
“ummm, ok”

then he motions for me to follow him. i follow him to his desk and on his screen is my resizing images tutorial. he points to a line where it says (Shit + S). it’s supposed to be a keyboard shortcut, i forgot the F.

gah!

my cries of utter humiliation bring others to his desk.

yes, i am now the joke of marketing. everyone keeps asking when they can get the shit key on their keyboard.

heh.

    Sorry… I had to laugh when I read this. I’d have told them that the shit key can be had for free, but that I haven’t been able to “make” them yet, but for them to be hopefull for a bowel movement after lunch.

    I had a shit key installed special on my board at work. It’s my favorite.

    I had to laugh when I read this. On my work machines (because they were Windows), I used to install “explode” keys. It was really good for working out aggression when I got the Blue Screen of Death.

    LMAO. My college professor used to always say that. He was east indian with a _very_ heavy accent so even though he was saying “shift key”, it was shit key. At that time I was quite new to computers and did ask the neighbouring student where the hell my shit key was *g*. Thanx for the story and the flashbacks 🙂
