Her only words were "I'm so sorry." before she hung up the phone. The office was so cluttered that the person probably just threw down their purse anywhere she could.Īll I could do was laugh hysterically. She puts the phone down and walks over there, sure enough the keyboard that came with her mouse was on the floor beneath 's coat / purse.
Calmly I asked "Are you absolutely certain there's no wireless keyboard that goes with that mouse on your desk? They usually come in a set." After a long pause she tells me the keyboard is in 's office. It was getting near 5:00pm and I was about to tell her we'll take another look in the morning.when it hit me like the hammer of Thor. 5-10 minutes later I get an email from the same person (sent from her mobile phone) saying the issue is HAPPENING AGAIN!Īt this point I thought I'd stepped into the twilight zone.

When I mentioned batteries she said the keyboard was wired, so that couldn't be the problem.Īfter a few minutes of troubleshooting on the phone I decided to swing by her office and have a look for myself.
I asked her the usual questions about checking for stuck keys, replacing keyboard batteries, etc without much luck. Specifically it was typing characters without her touching the keyboard.
