super real world problem solving example (not found in the DME book)


Locked my keys in the car today at work. EVERYBODY PANIC!

Ha...no. I'm not what you would call 'busy' at EB as a summer hire so I had plenty of time to figure out how I was going to break back in. My first idea was the common coat hanger. Unfortunately EB has no normal coat hangers on site. Believe me, I looked in about four different buildings. Fortunately, my get-shit-done engineering prowess let me to discover my fellow specialists occupied hanger folders.

A quick jaunt upstairs and a moment desperate pleading with our AA landed me my very own hanger folder. Some rough surgery with the mini my tighe, scotch tape patches and BAM homemade slim jim. Now, you ever felt awkward before? Like, 'man I really out of place here,' awkward? Try walking through parking lots with an obviously illicit tool. Whatever, it got the job done and now it's now perched above my desk. Maybe I can turn a profit renting it out to other morons in my position.

In conclusion, I would like to thank EB office supply budget! Without you this ingenious solution would have never come to fruition. You may not pay me for observed national holidays, but you saved me a locksmith on this one.
