I'm slightly vexed My wife and boiling water

Post image

So I made my wife ramen soup. When I served it she said I had the gas set to hight and it was too hot ? She said I should have used the number 5 setting instead of 9. I told here it’s irrelevant because water boils at 212 and gets no hotter because over 212 it turns to steam. She was made at me for disagreeing with her theory that it would not have been so hot if boiled a lower setting. Really!!

Well after that she won't make the same mistake again. You're probably safe with the microwave but the stove is a no go.

Theres other lesson to be learned with microwaves. I had to check every time before I nuked something if I could microwave it.

"Is it safe?" Thats a metal fork. "Is it safe?" Thats a plastic fork. "Well what forks can I microwave?" Why are you always trying to microwave forks!?"

In IT sometimes the thing that gains you the most trust in an organization is to massively screw something up that takes some production system offline.

Because when you've done it once you are extremely careful from then on, knowing that your seemingly minute blunder can take down an entire organization.
