It can be a real drag when there is some sort of computer hardware related error that hinders productive intensions. Say, you need to connect your computer to some tech at work, only to find that the machines are physically incompatible. That’s it. The party is over.
Wait a second! There is a usb rs232 converter in the top drawer of your desk. The day can be productive once again. But your worries are not over quite yet. Who knows what sort of other inputs there are that could be potentially incompatible with your laptop because it is a couple years old and only has room for three, maybe four, ports. Imagine the sheer sense of disappointment when your lack of a usb serial adapter postpones valuable work, or worse, prevents you from getting into the cafeteria before all of the good food is taken.
“Never again!” you think.
The first thing you do after the usb rs232 incident is locate a serial usb adapter from an undisclosed location that is most likely on the internet. Who knows how many future crises you just prevented because of some quick thinking and affirmative action? Once again, you are back on top; a true master of your domain. With your chest held high in triumph, you gallantly stride back to your cubicle and claim your throne behind the desk. Your actions will forever be remembered as legend, by which all employees succeeding ye will turn to for guidance on their own journeys of self-discovery.
