Holy shit finally. I’m a professor and my office is Room 404 of a building that’s a completely impossible maze. Students routinely show up 15 minutes late unable to locate my office, and I have tried so desperately to get literally anyone to laugh at my “Error 404 Room Not Found” jokes with no success.
I work in IT. This is the kind of stupid joke we live for. I'm pretty darn jaded but this is absolutely something I would lean into. I'm disappointed in the IT manager who is the subject of this post.
I worked in an IT helpdesk a few years ago. Imagine the same joke told hundreds, thousands of times until long after it has gone stale. There is a point when it isn't funny anymore.
I have a kid and a dog. A chewed dog toy of the "incredibly hard for aggressive chewers" is like stepping on Lego sharpened by Japanese swordsmiths who then used it to make new teeth for a piranha that's biting your foot.
He didn’t get it. Blank stare.
“Oh I was looking for you at 404. Thought that was funny.”
“My office isn’t there.”
“Yeh, but it’s 404. And you weren’t found.”
“My office is here.”
“Okay. Well anyway..”
