Once I worked as an operator on an old IBM 370/Model 138 mainframe at a
local college. My position had been reclassified to fall into a new area
outside of the I/S staff. One day, my new supervisor entered the room and stared at the air conditioning unit directly behind me. He studied the two
flashing lights for a few moments and asked what job it was currently
processing.

I killed my career by replying, "Actually, sir, it's cooling the room. The
computer is over there."
