Today I was made aware that some people from our institute managed to win the foolish act of the week contest. Two of them attended a meeting of the university data processing center where they were offered an old 19" rack from the old local district court building that was no longer needed there. Immediately a group of happy campers went to the old local district court building and moved a 250 kilogram dusty and muddy rack first to the underground parking area, from there with a transporter to the institute building and up to the second floor where they finally found that the rack does not fit into the room where it was intended to be placed. Now the rack is blocking a door and the group of happy campers have heavy pain in arms, shoulders, and in the back.
A pocket rule could have saved much effort in this situation...
I for myself now completed the preparations for my trip to Cologne on Saturday which was much less painful.
