Umm...how much DUH did you put in your coffee today?

So, i manage a network for a group of people (100+). I don't exactly have an outstanding budget, so we're pretty much running barebones hardware (1 server, several wireless access points, and a crapload of cat5). We're also all living off of the same generator power. Of course, in a perfect world, we'd have a couple different generators, and a backup just in case. But this isn't a perfect world.

So when the generator BLOWS UP, and we're waiting hours for a replacement, when someone comes up and says, "HAY, MY INTARTUBEZ DON'T WERK!" i really want nothing more than to smash their face into said generator and make sure they can see the problem for themselves.

I just wish i weren't too scrawny to pull it off.

That is why you invest in a large man, with many tattoos and a bat. Make him wear a shirt that says "Complaint Department."
When you can't beat up someone your self, hire someone who can!

I wish I could say that I have witty sayings for situations like this, but usually, whenever someone comes through, I usually barrage them before they can say a word in edgewise.

"Hey, my in--"
"Working on problems, go away"
"Well, I ne--"
"Get the fuck out of my server room!"

I keep picturing the first episode of Red Dwarf, where Dave is being informed that everyone's dead. He keeps asking if this person or that person is alive and the computer keeps telling him They're dead Dave, they're all dead.

The computers are all dead, user. They're all dead.

I have two tattoos, am 6'2, 260-odd pounds, and prefer golf clubs. I also own the shirt in question.

Where do I submit my resume?

Would that i'd had the foresight to charge my battery camera. It was too late to think about that once the generator went boom. -__-

Sounds like me when i was getting this deal set up...

"Hey, is the int--"
"I'm working on it."

"How long do y--"
"It'll be up when it's up."

"Hey, it was working a second ago, bu--"
"I told you i was testing things, i'll let you know when i'm done!"
