| ...And
here, my friends, is where Moye's Law begins
to rear its ugly head. Unlike
Murphy's Law, which relies completely on happenstance
and is also vauge and wimpy, Moye's Law boldly
states the following: |
| "Moyes Law" |
| ONCE YOU ARE AWARE OF
EVEN THE POSSIBLITY OF SOMETHING GOING
WRONG... IT WILL IMMEDIATELY BEGIN TO GO
WRONG. |
| IF YOU TRY ACTING TO
PREVENT IT, IT WILL STILL GO WRONG. BUT
ONLY QUICKLY ENOUGH TO STAY AHEAD OF YOU.
IF YOU DEPEND ON A EXPERT TO PREVENT IT,
THE SPEED IN WHICH IT WILL GO WRONG INCREASES
IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO: |
| A. THE TIMING OF THE
APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED TO PREVENT IT. |
B. THE LENGTH
OF TIME THE PART NEEDED
TO PREVENT IT IS ON BACKORDER. |
C. HOW LIGHTLY THE EXPERT
TAKES THE
URGENCY YOU DEMONSTRATE IN NEEDING
TO PREVENT IT. AND SHOULD AN EXPERT EVER TELL YOU IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR
SOMETHING TO GO WRONG, IT IS PROBABLY GOING WRONG RIGHT NOW, BUT WILL ONLY
MANIFEST ITSELF WHEN SAID EXPERT IS ON VACATION WHICH IS THE REAL REASON
THEY SAID THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE. |

I
don't need to elaborate here, do I?
Didn't think so.
Anyway, despite my apprehension, I was assured of two things while I
was away: The back-up would be in 'in a couple days' and
more importantly, they've checked the primary chiller from stem
to stern and there is no way in hell it was gonna stop working. Why,
the thing was practically new. So when I got the call that it had stopped
working over the weekend (when else?) and that the back up was still
a couple days away, I went nuts. I cancelled the order, called UMI, and
in less than a week, I had these two brand new units in place and they
haven't given me a moment's trouble. I did lose a couple
acros to the event that time though but you're supposed to pay
a fine whenever you break The Law... Right? |
