From the Files of "It Could Only Happen to the Biller"

I bring you Today:

LS#1 is in Egypt supposedly getting married. Again. I was given permission to organize and clean her desk and PL/Biller and I did. I really believe the desk was thanking us for cleaning it. It was just that bad.

Then we both had the urge to go clean and reorganize our desks. Again.

PL/Biller decides she wants her monitor in the corner. We have tried this before and her cords are not long enough, so she decides to try the cords from Miss I Got A New Job's computer. We unhook the cable and I can tell right away it is a standard cable and the reason that monitor fits in the corner has to do with the placing of the "cord holes" in the desk. This one is in the corner while hers is in the middle. We drop the cord in the desk and decide to worry about that later.

A couple minutes later she informs me she has managed to do it. Her monitor is in the corner. Hooray!

Then I get a call:
PL/Biller: "My screen is green. I don't know what I did. Oh no."

Luckily the attorney is in an office conference because when I went back there and saw that her screen really was green, I had no clue what to do. This wasn't the kind of green that you get when you mess with the contrast and brightness on your tv screen. It was like someone had placed a green, semi transparent film over her screen. Her settings were completely screwed and I think the people in the parking lot 3 miles down the street could read anything on her monitor, if they could get past the whole green thing. We tried playing with all of the picture-friendly buttons on the front and all of the display settings, then I decided to go do some internet research on the subject, not really sure that I would find anything because I swear this stuff only happens to the Biller.

She has been banned from touching anything with a power cord in that office more times than I can count.

I decided to save some time (it was about 1:45 and I had done nothing more than clean a desk, fix timeslips and play with a green monitor all day) and grab the aforementioned monitor, since the cords were already unhooked anyway. That didn't work. We gave up trying to unscrew the stupid screws holding the cord in the back of Biller's monitor and realized we would need more of that special sticky tape to put her document clip back on and it was all too much work.

I told her to go to lunch and I would try to figure it out. I got the monitor information and was about to do useless research when she tells me she got it. Nope, it's green again. No, wait, she got it.

Best that we can figure out (or make up) the cord was not plugged in all the way and was pulled out just enough to turn her monitor green. When she released the tension on the cord it was fine, so now she has the monitor "almost" in the corner.

Without fail, at 4:30 this afternoon I was handed an email. And a document to be sent with the email. It needed to be scanned in. The only scanner is hooked up to Miss I Got A New Job's computer. The one we took apart. And had not put back together.
