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?

    Its actually a reference from The Shining. Even better with this story since Jack writes a "book" thats simply "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" repeated over and over again for hundreds of pages.

      Um, yeah I know. And the person who replied to me did so with a Simpsons reference that was a reference to the Shining reference I made.
