Friday Morning Diversion: A Tribute to Murphy's Law

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Aug 26, 2011 3:40PM

Sometimes we'd like to respond to all the people who tell us we have the life working from home with the tales of what goes wrong. This week alone we've spilled coffee and Jarritos lime soda on our computer keyboards, burned lunch three times, stubbed our toes on a brick twice (didn't think to move the brick the first time) and burned our hand steaming milk.

This video, a compilation of people in infomercials doing things wrong, is a tribute to all you whose home is both your castle and your office.
