There are days when almost anyone can hate their job. But some people are apparently unhappier than others. At least that was the case for Manhattan court stenographer Daniel Kochanski, who allegedly typed either gibberish or "I hate my job" in official court transcripts, according to the New York Post.

And the result is bad. Very bad. Although Kochanski has reportedly been fired, his, uh, "work" may have tainted the proceedings in 30 cases because official records are now missing. At least 10 of them are now being appealed, according to Time, including the trial of alleged mortgage fraudster Aaron Hand, who was also accused of hiring a hit man to kill a witness against him.
