Stenographer Causes Confusion In Court By Typing “I HATE MY JOB” Over And Over … And Over Again

This might make you feel better about your job. One stenographer has jeopardized the outcome of almost 30 verdicts when he ignored actual court dialogue and typed random keys or the sentence "I hate my job" repeatedly. Officials are trying to repair the damage with 10 cases going through the appeals process potentially able to claim that crucial evidence is missing in their conviction. The brilliant New York Post compared the man's antics to the meltdown of Jack Nicholson's unhinged character in 1980s The Shining, who writes 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,' again and again. The man was let go for substance-abuse but denies writing "gibberish" during the verdicts.
