My boss's printer jammed right before a huge client meeting yesterday

It was 10 minutes before the big pitch, and the fancy office printer just ate the last copy of the presentation. I had to take the whole back panel off with a paperclip I bent straight. Got it out, but the machine started making this awful grinding sound. I just emailed the PDF to the client from my phone while my boss was still yelling at the machine. Has anyone else had to fix a major tech fail with zero time and even less help?

Oh man, that's the worst. That grinding sound is pure panic. I once had a projector bulb blow right as I was about to start a training. Had to run and find the AV closet key in another building. The silence in that room felt like an hour. You did good just sending the PDF.

My boss would have fired me for that PDF.
