Dramatis personae: (M)e and a New (E)mployee:
(E) - I'm sorry. I... I broke the workpiece support for the CNC machine. [Basically a piece of metal which keeps the milled object in place]
(M) - You... broke... the... support?
(E) - Yes. (She's almost sobbing at this point)
(M) - Thanks be to God!
(E) - ???
(M) - You've been here for 3 months and you still haven't broken anything. I was afraid that you would break the CNC machine itself -- and then we would have a real problem!
Said employee is still with us 4 years later, and still working on that CNC machine...
