I can do many things over the phone where IT and software support is concerned.

"One of our guys forgot to lower a dump truck bed and it took out the power and phone lines to our office."

is not one of those things I am equipped to handle.

About half asleep. Had radio on in my office. News story from Nashville. Two kids carjacked someone. They had to run away on foot as it was a manual transmission.

Yes, you only lost five inodes but they were on /boot and the kernel was on them. Tell me again why you never bother with backups or mirroring.

My Friday is a Monday

I'm put in mind, today, of the server I received that had been blasted across a burning office by a firehose. Or, I should say, the charred metal taco.

"Could you get anything off of it?"

This has been a horrible week.

"We smelled something burning coming from the server closet and now we cannot get into the software. Can you log in remotely and see what happened."

I'm going to take a wild guess and say, "No".

It has a certain charm, though.

"And where would you like this pizza delivered sir"
"330 Indian mumble Road"
"I'm sorry sir, could you say that clearly."
"No because you'll hang up on me"

I think must of us here deserve the label :D

It's pure, unadulterated Unix and I love it. Just not for use as a daily driver.
