Things you really don't want to hear.


In the middle of a delicate operation, you really don't want to hear the chief surgeon suddenly saying, "Oops."

Similarly, when you're trying to just survive the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, this is also not going to inspire confidence:

With the situation in the smelly and sweltering Superdome becoming ever more desperate, authorities have found a new home for the building's nearly 25,000 hurricane refugees: the Astrodome in Houston...

It was not immediately clear how long the refugees will be in Houston, 350 miles from New Orleans. “We're buying time until we can figure something out,” said William Lokey, chief coordinator for FEMA.

Yeah, Bill, that would be nice -- you figuring something out. Take your time, it's not like there's any pressure here or anything.
