Another late night "emergency call" from a "client" (we are re-branding and I was told Friday that they aren't customers anymore). In any event, our after hours tier 1 folks just called me up with an urgent ticket - the user accidentally poured a beer on the Cisco ASA that is at their office. Now, I'm not normally one to really ask "how did that happen" since I see shit all day long; BUT, Saturday, 11:55pm EST and you are in the networking closet at your realty firm drinking beer high enough in the air to pour it on the ASA? WTF? Perhaps you are the anti-christ of networking engineers everywhere - because, really, it takes either a) a violation of physics to pour up, b) you were on a ladder and dumped your beer down. Either way I don't know what to say other than I'll call Cisco TAC and have you a new ASA shipped Sunday Red for like $1000 from Bangalore.
I am just waiting for the call that someone accidentally detonated a bomb in their network closet or something. They get worse and worse.
Closing thoughts: "If you idiot-proof something, they will just build a better idiot"
