    Came in on the weekend.
    And guess what I found?
    My entire test rack was powered down.
    The UPS was beeping and my data was lost.
    I was really regretting having to tell the boss.

    I looked inside the test PC.
    And to my surprise.
    The motherboard was fried!
    The fuses in the DVMs were blown and the power supply had died.
    I just had to walk away, because I was about to cry!

    "It was a breath of fresh air on a crazy Friday in the 'Blue' measurement world."—Vicki Veretto

    "LOLOLOLOL!!! Great song! I really enjoyed that one!"—Gary Gartman

    "I love it... Forwarded to all my friends!"—Roberta Gonzalez

    "Your song is a hoot! My cheeks still hurt from laughing."—Lon Hintze

    "You are the Clapton of T&M!"—Bernie Tylor
