The Same Theme in Different Things

On the wo mornings out of three that I came back to use the subway/bus system, I got stuck underground. The conductor announced, "All the trains are stuck by the red light. The computer system is having some problems. They are trying to reboot it. I offered my right boot. They refused..." Good humor almost always helps. Luckily, the train didn't stop for long. As I got off onto the platform, however, another similar announcement came out. Looks like the system needed another reboot on top of the reboot.

Arriving in the office, I got an email message from our network guy regarding an issue we were encountering yesterday. These are mostly his words: "I changed the config files and restarted the server; It did not work. So I rolled back: I put back the config files and restarted the server. As at this moment, the server is in the same state it was before implementation. PS: I am still trying to find a solution."

That's how life plays out by repeating itself. The same theme in different things. To be bored or to be fascinated, it's really your choice.
