Counteraction

At work yesterday, every action that we took was counteracted to the point that, for all intents and purposes, absolutely nothing was accomplished! When we made an attempt to fix one of our computer systems, after a couple of hours, the exact same crash occured as before, leaving us where we started. When I went to a training session for my qualifications in our reactor computer simulator, it crashed as well! Finally, just before we got out of work, we replaced this phone box because of the problems that have been occuring with it, but upon replacement, the same problems plagued the phone.
