Dammit, Koreas, knock it off already. I swear if you two can't get along and stop pounding each other...you know what, hold on, I'll go get a camera.

Is the proper phrase "I could care less" or "I couldn't care less?" I hear them both used and normally one side is screaming at the other for not saying it right. I don't think anyone else care to take the wheel of this thread before it gets driven into a ditch.

Hi, Bobert!

Best fucking New Year's ever, guess who just landed a brand spanking new Toshiba laptop that she'd been eyeing for months! HAHAHA! This will be a good year.

I read that as "guess who just got laid" for a second.

Which may have happened too, for all I know. But the laptop, in the end, has more lasting benefits.

Indeed.

I guess it depends on the lay.

Thanks, catwritr, for the earworm.

Sympathy For The Dumb
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of density and waste
I've been around for a long long year
Stole many a man's soul and patience

And I was dumb when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of tech support pain
Made damn sure my password
Was locked out, and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you!
Hope you curse my name!
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around the office during the holidays
When I saw it was time for a change
I lost my shortcut to Outlook again
All the IT guys screamed in pain

I pulled a prank
On a tech named Frank
While the database crashed
And the sales guys drank

Pleased to meet you!
Hope you curse my name!
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee
While you route and ping
Fought for ten straight hours
To undo the mess I made

I shouted out
"Who deleted the network shares?"
When after all
It was you and me.

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of density and waste
I virused up your server farm
Before its uptime was even a day

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

Just as every user is an idiot
And all the sysadmins saints
As heads is tails
Just call me "End User"
Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy
And some tape

Use all your well-learned patience
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

That was so fucking awesome.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #5310 on:** January 07, 2011, 10:23:38 AM »

It was a slow day yesterday, punctuated by brief bouts of Stupid.

Wunderkind · « **Reply #5311 on:** January 07, 2011, 10:24:53 AM »

Aren't they all?

Demosthenes · « **Reply #5312 on:** January 07, 2011, 10:35:47 AM »

No, sometimes they're extremely busy, dominated by long stretches of Stupid.

pbsaurus · « **Reply #5313 on:** January 07, 2011, 06:33:23 PM »

Our cunTroller is an idiot. We made a multimillion adjustment and he insisted that we wrap $59K of foreign exposure in with it. So I guess we'll be doing a reclass after we pay.

Fraggles · « **Reply #5314 on:** January 07, 2011, 08:06:18 PM »

Yeah, work sucks. Some guy groped my ass last night. Every job has it's awesome moments. *sigh*

ivan · « **Reply #5315 on:** January 07, 2011, 08:46:15 PM »

Yeah, well, Fraggles has ass-groping. You can't beat ass-groping.

Fraggles · « **Reply #5316 on:** January 07, 2011, 08:47:40 PM »

After they get a freaking hand full you'd think they'd leave a tip. But no. Australia sucks. Drunken idiots make a job that's bad, so much worse.

Wunderkind · « **Reply #5317 on:** January 07, 2011, 11:21:52 PM »

They do that in America too, hun.

Although, the last man to grope my ass didn't pay in cash, he paid in a bloody nose and a short, escorted trip to the curb.

And I ate his soul. I mean, really after you have their soul, what do you need their money for?

pbsaurus · « **Reply #5318 on:** January 10, 2011, 07:54:43 PM »

It's time for another soupbandit trial.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #5319 on:** January 10, 2011, 08:28:24 PM »

We've done that.

What we need is to put a Stew Pirate in front of a firing squad...

My coworker "Eric" is trying to get someone's desk phone to forward to their mobile phone, but whenever he's trying to test it, they keep answering instead of letting it ring and forward.

Listening to this is absolutely slaying me over here.

Eric: *dials extension*
User: Hello?
Eric: Don't answer your phone! I need to test the forwarding.
User: Ok.
User: *hangs up*
Eric: *dials extension*
User: Hello?
Eric: STOP THAT.
Eric: Don't answer your phone! I need to test the forwarding.
User: Ok.
User: *hangs up*
Eric: *dials extension*
User: Hello?

Repeat.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #5321 on:** January 13, 2011, 12:29:17 PM »

ROFL!

And the saga continues. Eric told the user to come over to his desk, so the user walked in, and when Eric saw that, he called the user's extension and tested the call forwarding successfully. The confused user then went back to their desk.

Just a minute ago, I heard this from Eric's direction.

Eric: *phone rings*
Eric: What.
User: I just got back to my desk and saw that I missed a call from you.
Eric: *sigh*

Min · « **Reply #5322 on:** January 13, 2011, 12:36:24 PM »

What a dumbass.

Why didn't Eric's cell phone ring?

ivan · « **Reply #5323 on:** January 13, 2011, 07:00:21 PM »

He better test it again.

a few months ago they admins decided to do a password audit on the staff, most of the staff, as the admins soon found out, was using their last names or phone extensions as passwords for their computer logins. Some of the staff even had their passwords on post-it notes on their computer monitors.

after this audit there were a lot of changes to the password restrictions
