I read about that yesterday. And I'm sorry, but that is f*cking funny. I know I'll burn in hell, but I can't help it.

Flavoured with cinnamon...

Anyway, it doesn't look at all like Mother Theresa. Does remind me a bit of an old girl-friend, though.

See you later.

Neil :D

put an image on healthy food? I've seen a grilled cheese on white bread Madonna, a Mother Teresa cinnamon roll, and potato chip Abraham Lincolns. How come there's no John the Batpist leaves of spinich or a whole wheat pita Richard Nixon?

Unless he owns the company he does NOT own the hardware, as he would like to believe in order to make himself feel important.

by jaqui

it department heads actually do act like it is hardware they own?

oh, hold it, I do own the hardware. :P

Baking or burning..it can't be too much fun. Although with a little cinnamon at least it should smell a little better.

Funny, I thought the bun looked like my husband's ex-wife. It must be a common look among exes.

of someone's dog...the wrinkly ones.

RIP Mother Teresa...you were a good soul, but you didn't look like a cinnamon roll.

The writer, apparently the IT guy for his corporation, is completely delusional.

He states he has been given the responsibility, he then leads on with the assumption that these are HIS terminals. Obviously this IT wannabe is 100% delusional. As many have said here before, "it is MY computer, MY server" etc. Give your head a shake, you are being paid to maintain it, it is YOUR responsibility, but not YOUR hardware anymore than it is the users hardware. The USER also has a responsibilty to use that equipment in a responsible manner, just as the IT manager has.

The IT manager does NOT OWN the equipment, as he states incorrectly, it isn't HIS equipment, not "MINE".

It is just another stupid example of IT management thinking they own the IT network, these are the types of people who come here complaining about their bosses wanting to change THEIR hardware etc.

What a knob!

by oz_media

But there's no humour intended by the Admin who thinks he owns the systems. I am sure he is quite serious, as we've seen the same comments offered here too many times to count.

The writer thinks he's havign a laugh at the noobs and knobs he has to manage each day, but really the joke is on him for even thinking it's HIS network and HIS equipment. Really, a lot of these guys actually feel that way.

I agree that the humor resides in stating the IT guy is the owner.
Nonetheless there is the KISS rule: Keep It Simple and Stupid (or Simple for Stupido's?) Most people have already enough trouble understanding how to do their job on their computers, they can use a simple, visible "enemy" not to step upon in the form of the IT guy(s). Don't confuse them with debates on who is the real owner of the infra (most of the times it's the bank!), because they could get the idea that no-one is caring about their (computer-)crimes...

for all of you who never found it ammusing, i laughed so much, i cried...i decided to put one copy in each suite. and guess wot ?. my workload decreased overnight, now who laughing...me

EMPLOYEES, the peons hired by the HR peons, are always thinking th ecompany woul dgrind to a halt without them, that they are the bread and butter etc. This is SO prominent in IT, it's pretty stupid actualy just how many IT staff members THINK they rnu the show just because their company decided to deploy a network that millions can operate and maintain just as well.

It's like a McDonalds employee thinking he runs the restaurant because he has been flipping burgers there like nobody else can for over 10 years. Keep flipping those burgers, others have a career to build and your job to manage.

Those types of bastages give us a bad name. That is the type of attitude that makes my job harder. Those types of comments is why I get the third degree every time I try to do anything progressive. The twit that wrote that article is the reason why I have to tell my boss when I perform a little preventative maintenance.

I am tired of these power hungry geeks that got beat up in high school so much they now they want to punish the rest of the world. Personally, I think they got beat one too few times. These types of short sight piss ants tick me off. I just have one message for them...

Get over yourself. Your not that important.

i cant believe you have,nt got a sense of humour, it was meant to be amusing not to the letter ,read in between the lines and you will see i was meant that way so lighten up and smile, cos a smile costs nothing and is infectious, ho ho ho merry xmas.

by faradhi

they gave me a pill...
It cured me of my sense of humor...
But I feel reeeeeeallll Goooooooood.

If I had not met a LOT of people with that same attitude in IT, I would not be so condemning.

by neil_essex

i have been in IT for many years, and the things i get asked and that get done to "MY" computers still makes me laugh, but hey we aint all perfect or we be out of a job...right?

by faradhi

But So many of us techs take stuff like that as a mantra.
I have fought those attitudes in classes I have taught.

by jzsdii

relationship with their users. Most help desk techies have a COMPULSION to solve user problems and keep everybody rolling. However, every so often, frustrations build up.

I interpret the html as a temporary venting that let off steam and went nowhere else.

Everybody's entitled and we can empathize and laugh.

Those computers are his when they act up and die with valuable corporate information on them. At all other times they are the user's porn surfing, music rustling, ebay shopping, "whadya doing this week-end" email sharing, time wasters.

They are not yours, they are your problem. There is a small but significant distinction there.

Now keep those rants off MY computer!!!!!!!!!!

by neil_essex

(quote)Those computers are his when they act up and die with valuable corporate information on them.(unquote) ...COME ON !!! you never heard of backup...methinks not...well i have my say and i'll leave it at that...at the end of the day it meant to be a bit of light humour, and users will be users however crap thay are. but remember
"EVEN EXPERTS WERE ONCE BEGINNERS" ..NIGHT ALL.
