The great great Mr.Murphy
Monday, October 16, 2006
Have been running a bit late for the past few days. Am trying my best to keep up with the pace of my daily life. Sigh !! Never thought it would be this difficult. Sitting in front of my comp today I think about Murphy.... Murphy who ? Well, am talking about the one and only Mr. Murphy.
They say it originated in Edwards Air Force Base in 1948 where Major Edward A. Murphy, Jr., worked as a development engineer contributing support measurement technology. Now, how many of them make sense ?? I'd say all of em :)
- If anything can go wrong, it will.
- No matter how perfect things are made to appear, Murphy's law will take effect and screw it up.
- Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
- No matter how long or how hard you shop for an item, after you've bought it, it will be on sale somewhere cheaper. (So true -- experienced it this weekend and had to return a bottle of Cologne after finding out that it was on Sale elsewhere)
- Smoke always goes towards non-smokers.
These are some that I've heard at workplace and have experienced it too
- Don't let your Comp know that you are in a hurry. (Those Alt+Ctrl+Del/Taskmanager wont work either).
- Software bugs are impossible to detect by anybody except the end user.
- When you finally buy enough memory, you will not have enough disk space.
And my favorite (rather my interpretation from daily life) ...
The moment you decide to get started early morning - it starts raining. Usually happens at 8:30AM and 5:30 in the evening. The day you decide to leave early, psychic Murphy spells doomsday. No point playing the waiting game either, you cannot match his extraordinary talent .
And its probably the day you forgot your Umbrella !!
