I must have a truly evil sense of humour

[TrogL]

I have laughed myself completely, literally sick.
My intercostal muscles will never been the same and I think I've done something nasty to my diaphram.
The entire office is gathered around my desk staring.

So I'm waiting around after hours here at BFC, because we've got a bad 4mm DAT drive attached to the file server in our lab, and the daily and weekly backups are therefore suspect. Also the disk drives are making that sound which says, "I'm a happy drive. I'm a cheerful drive. I'm smiling at you because I'm grinding my spindles into microscopic dust and there's not a single thing you can do about it. I'm going to fail. I'm going to do it soon. Or later. I'm not telling. Probably soon, because I've been chatting with the DAT drive two hops up the SCSI chain, and he tells me that he's been ill, so if I fail *now*, you'll have no recent backups. That's why I'm happy. I'm in control. I want a goat. And candles. Black ones. Pray, human. Pray that I'm in a good mood. PRAY, DAMMIT, ON YOUR KNEES, YOU LIMACEOUS BIT OF MEATWARE!"

1. Have you also read the Chronicles of George?

Both sites make me cry with laughter.

3. Seen that - get a load of some of my recent trouble tickets

Mail is sluggish

Yeah, well considering a contractor just knocked out power to the entire building and the replacement batteries for the UPS's were held up by budgetary constraints, yes, the mail server is going to be a bit sluggish. Laptops work during power failures.

Just noticed can't log into server "barnaby".

Yeah, well, "barnaby" is sitting in the corner with dust on it. It was decommissioned six months ago.

Cannot connect to server "bonny".

Please tell whomever stole its network cable (which looks suspiciously like the one in the back of your laptop) that we have no intention of implementing wireless technology.

Please have server "bonny" up by 3 p.m.

Please provide working power, working network connection, bribe the movers to move its desk...

2. Doesn't everyone find that hilarious?

now I'm worried my sense of humor is evil, too.

Then again, since I always found the BOFH hysterical, I guess that went without saying.
