I was doing a google search and found that. The incident is from 2004, but hilarious nonetheless.

I think it's a particularly ballsy move that guy had, throwing his 2x4 at his opponent for the win.

That's the mark of a confident, decisive fighter.

Is this the post of a man with 2x4 chucking experience?

Dammit, quit trying to shove a gigabyte print job through my PII 450 printer server, you wankers! Learn how to compress your stupid embedded images.

We need a better print server.

I knew it was going to be a bad day when I woke up and heard God laughing. Sure as shit, when I got to work a PDU blew out and I had an entire set of servers completley dead. Apparently they had been that way since the failure at 2:00am. Now, personally I'd like to think that since these machines have dual power supplies, one would be plugged into one PDU and other one plugged into a differend PDU that way if one of the PDUs fail, the whole machine woulnd't shut down. Oh, no. We can't have that. We'll have both supplies plugged into a single point of failure. BRILLIANT! Did the on call guy do anything about it? No. I'm sure the 24hour pager he has went apeshit when it lost connectivity to dozens of servers. (including one switch) That is, if he bothered to have it on. So I got to do a quick and dirty recable job to what precious few remaining power slots we had left and wound up making a huge cabling mess, but getting all the servers back up before 8:00am. Thought things would only get better, but a very important database shat itself right afterwards and I'm still working on getting that fixed.

I love being the only guy working on Fridays.

Xolik,

A 1GB print job. Someone in marketing or something? They're always trying to email files that are huge with all sorts of full sized hi-res pictures. Friggin idiots.

Think so. I think they're printing out form letters that target alumni for the annual shakedown.

Nice! The letters I get find their way to the shredder file, however the phone calls eventually catch me and I have to explain to them paying my mortgage is a little more important than giving them more of my money.

^^^ I have no idea where you got that from.

I seriously LOVE new student day. International students ahoy! /drool

Too bad I'm kept locked up in my office and can't enjoy the scenery.

Our freshman showed up over the weekend also. All it means for me however is that it now sucks to find a parking spot.

Oh and a bunch of too young eye candy wandering around bundled up against the "cold". Welcome to New England.

I love the cold, comes with the territory anyway.

I just had this exact, word-for-word exchange with a client.

Her: Okay. So how do I delete this email?

Me:

Hit delete?

Her: Oh! Thanks!

I enjoy it also. You just know things aren't going to go well when some freshwoman is on her cellphone complaining about how cold it is in New England (low 70's today). I wanted to take the phone away and say "Just wait until January"

Judgie, I'm too busy staring at your avatar to form any real thoughts.

In other news: goat cheese + salad = AWESOME.

Scheherazade · « **Reply #1069 on:** August 28, 2006, 10:17:40 PM »

ARe you kidding? Goat cheese = awesome by itself.

I need to learn how to milk a goat. Anyone here know how, and want to teach me?

Well now that I've read up on goat milking technique, I need to find myself a client...
