Dear Luser,

I know that I'm being difficult by quoting corporate security policy to confuse you.  You see, I really don't want your child in my area because I really don't want to babysit your child while he cruises the Internet here at work.  Babysitting is the one thing that is definitely NOT in my job description.

Your Loving SysAdmin (who is childless by choice)

I always think it's funny when a geek says s/he is "childless by choice."

[mightyj.livejournal.com]

Why?

[ihateemo.livejournal.com]

Because geeks don't get laid! ROFL!!!!U@#!R!

(Even though most of the guys I work with are married and, uh, a lot of them have kids. Myself; married. And childless. By choice. Ooops, did I break the model?)

In those situations I'd just let the child get lost or electrocute themselves.

What? It's not my kid...

Don't forget leaving a fifteenth floor window open. >:D

I didn't know they made such a thing (openable 15th-story windows, that is). Most commercial buildings I've been in have no openable windows.

In some of the older ones there are, same as in old residential high-rises built before A/C.

You could always use a glass cutter and a sheet of thin plastic though.:)

Childless by choice

[guitarguy1980.livejournal.com]

Actually, if you wanna get real technical about it, the proper term is "childfree". Childless indicates a loss or a want. I don't want them, and it's quite the opposite of a loss effect in my life.

Oh yeah, I'm married too.

Yeah. Just stay home, you moron. The world does not revolve around you, and your company will not go bankrupt because you missed a day of work. On the other hand, when the whole farking floor/building/campus comes down with your (or your child's) pestilence, that poses a serious productivity problem for the company. It;s not like you get much done at work when you're sick or trying to deal with a sick child.

Sprint hammers it into their employees' heads that they need to STAY THE FUCK HOME if they're sick - the last thing they want is an epidemic on the 15,000-person HQ campus.

Alas, they'd get stopped by the filter.

Our network admin would give them... interesting looks when he went to discuss it with them and their supervisor, though... ::cackle::
