Open source transcript

I'M HAVING A BAD TECHNOLOGY DAY.

MY PHONE KEEPS FREEZING, MY PRINTER ISN'T WORKING, AND OUR NETWORK IS DOWN.

MY CAR'S WARNING LIGHTS LOOK LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE, AND MY LAPTOP WON'T BOOT UP.

MAYBE IT'S ALL JUST COINCIDENCE, BUT I DON'T THINK WE CAN TAKE THAT CHANCE.

MAY I HAVE PERMISSION TO LOCK MYSELF IN A LEAD-LINED BOX TO PROTECT THE REST OF THE COMPANY?

HOW WILL I KNOW YOU'RE REALLY IN A LEAD-LINED BOX?

YOULL KNOW BECAUSE YOUR PHONE WILL BE WORKING FINE.

THREE WEEKS LATER MY PHONE IS STILL WORKING. THAT MAN IS A HERO

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
