And agian, SuB LOVES her coworkers!

Perlman: your monkey theory? oh do tell.
SuB: A monkey shows up at HR wearing a silly hat.
SuB: HR says OMG! A MONKEY! Wearing a SILLY HAT! That's ADORABLE! Let's HIRE IT! Where do we have an opening? Oooo...
SuB: And that is how sysadmins are born.
Perlman: well, there we go. the basis for your doctorate.

(PS: SuB loves smart sysadmins, dbas, techies, tinkers, etc. She hates with a passion those who got their jobs because they can dial her number and whine.)

(Perlman & SQLguy are two of my coworkers)

SuB: BASTARD SON OF A BITCHWHORE
SuB: this guy just told me "well, that's a good guess, but I need someone smarter now. uh, smarter than me."
(SuB says other unkind things about the user, his parantage, unhealthy love of farm animals)
Perlman: bitchwhore?
Perlman: pimptastic
Perlman: ($BITCHWHORES ~= m/Perlman|SQLguy/) : $BITCHWHORES ~= s/Perlman|SQLguy//g ? print "SuB. Call line #1. SuB, call line #1.";
Perlman: so, SuB you free?
* SQLguy highfives Perlman for use of tertiary operand

And you know what? I hate people. I hate $USERs! I had a guy today who COULD NOT for the life of him FTP me a file from Windows! And I had a woman who laughed when I said "that's the pipe SYMBOL, not the word spelled out." Then...I had a man who swore up and down that he'd never heard of a bootable CD and that I must be lying to him about Linux booting off a cd.

And the guy with no support who wanted to install a distro on a UBS harddrive...this is not a distro who is happy living on a usb device.

SuB: So, this guy wants to put this distro on a USB.
$COWORKER: yeeeah, it'll be a miricle if he gets in installed, much less bootable.
SuB: He says "but Lockheed does it!"
$COWORKER: Lockheed also makes jets that fly faster than sound.

Mmm, what a job.
