The Latest-Up-Until-Right-Now Part, by SLWatson
And now I bring the NEW latest part, prompted by "bad day". Be warned: My Star Trek fu is weak. Also had to play around with some ideas to make it fit, but I try.
Allaidh: It's never going to be a good day when a crewmate mentions that they had to get creative with equipment.
SignalPirate: Personally, I think Murphy's law is overwritten by Newton's.
Allaidh: But Newton didn't have assistants to constantly meddle with his theories.
SignalPirate: Point taken.
Allaidh: My captain, though, swears that the breakdown is never his fault. He can't grasp that technology doesn't break itself.
SignalPirate: Except for the random off times that it does.
Allaidh: That's usually related to wear and tear, which is caused by poor maintenance. In other words, operator error.
SignalPirate: Is that so...
Allaidh: And in the very rare chance that it isn't connected to operator error, it's more often than not a design error and the fault of the creator, not the technology.
SignalPirate: Remind me never to pick fights with an engineer.
Allaidh: I take it the upkeep on your ship isn't to such a high standard?
SignalPirate: It's aging, but I mostly have some small glitches and breakdowns, just here and there. Of course, the worst is when the artificial gravity kicks out and my coffee maker goes floating off.
Allaidh: ...
SignalPirate: What? Haven't you ever had to clean out coffee grinds from equipment?
Allaidh: ... Sometimes, I wonder about you.
SignalPirate: I could say the same thing about you.
