techrecoveryWe have a colleague we've started referring to as King N00b. Why? Because, even though he knows nowhere near as much as he thinks he does, he still gets to train all the lesser n00bs, making him King of the N00bs. His manager (not my manager, thank $DEITY) is a useless sack of shit and doesn't even supervise him; not in the least because said manager is not technically minded in any way, shape or form. So when he fucks up he doesn't get in trouble.
Needless to say, working here is becoming more like the Chronicles of George every day. I come in this morning to find a ticket in my queue from a customer requesting a DNS change. King N00b has already told the customer that someone else is authoritative for said domain. Which is fine.
Except the customer asked for PTR record change. Guuuuuuuh. I hope he hasn't left any other booby traps for me today. I need to catch up on some sleep.
In order to make me a little less crazy, I encourage you all to submit your own King N00b stories. Just....real clangers that any tech with half a brain wouldn't drop.
