Now, there was no need for that...Tell us about the times when an already difficult situation has been made worse for no good reason. Pollollups writes, "As if being given a muscle relaxant and trapped in an MRI tube wasn't bad enough: whilst thus immobilised, they played me Dido."

The system... is down...I have a data entry job at the university book store. I sort through books and articles given to me by profs, and I find out all the copywrite info about them and organize the articles into a book, which students can then buy for cheap. I work with another woman who enjoys comparing me to her nine year old son. As I'm a 20 year old girl, this is odd.
Anyway, I had just been given a really bad pack- the articles were photocopied and cut up into slips, things were missing or out of order, I had to even go to the library (across campus) and get some of the books for myself. There was no need for it to be so badly put together.
Anyway, after working on this stupid thing from 9 in the morning until almost 3 in the afternoon, I'm about to send the whole thing off to the printer.
That is, of course, when I hear my co-worker say "What does this error message mean?"
The stupid cow had locked the database in a loop. This froze up, not just her computer, but the entire system. There was no need for that.
My boss, who thinks I'm a computer genius because I know that hitting enter does the same thing as clicking "OK," tries to reboot the system.
When she finally gets it rebooted, all the files for the upcoming school year, a couple THOUSAND, were GONE.
There was NO FUCKING NEED for that.
