What a wonderful day 
Just gotten to work to find out that my boss who is having all sorts of problems with his computer (virus related) decided last night to clean his mouse. Seems it was sticking a bit and the cord kept getting tangled, so the obvious solution (to him) was to clean it and of course the easiest way to do that is to soak it in hot water overnight!
Oh dear lord how am I going to explain this to the tech guy…
Easy, just hand it to the techie and say “I think it’s time you and [bossman] should have a little talk about the facts of life…”
Lucky you don’t have an office cat.
Ooooh an office cat that would be very cool. I’d love to see my boss try and soak the cat 
I’ve emailed the tech guy to expain whats happened and as he was going to drop by and de-virus our computers he can replace the mouse at the same time and expain to the boss why it was a bad idea.
Oddly enough though, a network-admin friend of mine says most PC keyboards are dishwasher safe. Though sadly my mac 'board with the clear plastic isn’t.
(I stil wouldn’t try it, even tho. I trust him implicitly.)

See, this is why everyone should have trackballs instead of mice. Because people (well, guys at least) will take care of something with “ball” in the name! (Plus, we’ll get to make all kinds of “I’m polishing my trackball!” jokes.)
leechbabe, I have a notoriously technically inept friend who’s feeling a bit down right now. I’ll tell him this story. It’ll make him feel better. Heck, it’s already got me laughing out loud!
Good luck with your boss – it sounds like you need it!

Somebody better send this to the DNRC.
Does your boss by any chance have pointy hair?
Wooosh 
He’s slightly balding if thats any help

mr adams is a bit scary sometimes, he seems to have a weird sense of what is going on in offices throughout the world.
