If you want a vision of the future, imagine a wage slave typing: "I hate my job. I hate my job. I hate my job," on a keyboard, for ever. That's what a Manhattan court typist is accused of doing, having been fired from his post two years ago, after jeopardizing upwards of 30 trials, according to the New York Post. Many of the court transcripts were "complete gibberish" as the stenographer was allegedly suffering the effects of alcohol abuse, but the one that has caught public attention contains the phrase "I hate my job" over and over again.

We've collectively been around the professional block many times. What's the most spectacular flameout you've seen?

    In the courtrooms I've been in, the microphones are already in place.

    There's one for the judge, one for the witness, one for the jury fore, one for each party, one for the phone, one for the recorder (steno)...

    So basically, you just need to cover the area where a lawyer might walk around while questioning a witness, or where the bailiff might stand when swearing people in.
