    AND I HATE

    Sitting at work watching backup tape drives refuse to read tapes properly so I can merge this tape into a database and do a restore for some person who isn't even going to get what they wanted because they don't know the file name or even the folder path for me to restore.

    BAH!
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Go read about The Bastard Operator from Hell (BOFH) for inspiration.
    Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. And don't start a sentence with a conjugation. (William Safire)

    Sounds very much like some of the boring monotonous work I have to do some days and some of the drongo's I work with too! (apologies to all loving sensitive drongos)

    haha, reminds me of a little story my dads work mate told me. A massey university guy left a considerable amount of his thesis for his doctorate just sitting in his users account then comes back from overseas after more than a decade my dads poor workmate has to go through stacks of backup tapes all to find this thesis, so much for doctors being intelligent.

    AAAAAAAA sys admin...

    I was there - I saw the light and crossed to the dark side - technical sales...

    Pays better and you get to delegate a lot more... seriously guys - if you have "done your time" in front of a console and are curious about it... I'd avise you to check it out.

    edit = I don't think I stressed it enough... it pays HEAPS better - there I think that's it...

    Had a call yesterday from a user yesterday who was very keen to stress they were on the "Management Team" at their location.

    One of their problems - a USB memory device would not work in their "MiniTower".

    Turned out the "MiniTower" was a Compaq thin client terminal.

    ...Well I thought it was funny anyway.
