OT - Sys Admin Humor

[MoFunk]

Hey just got this off a W2KNews letter. Kinda funny....

New System Admin Words For 2003


BLAMESTORMING: Sitting around in a group, discussing why a server went down, and who was responsible.
SEAGULL MANAGER: A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.
CUBE FARM: An office filled with cubicles.
MOUSE POTATO: The on-line, wired generation's answer to the couch potato.
STRESS PUPPY: An admin who seems to thrive on being stressed out, whiney, and complains about stupid users all day.
SWIPEOUT: An access card that has been rendered useless because the magnetic strip is worn away from extensive use.
PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE: The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.
404: A completely clueless end-user.
OHNOSECOND: That fraction of time after hitting Enter, in which you realize that you've just permanently erased a big database.
Inoculatte: Taking coffee intravenously when you are pulling an all-nighter getting that database online from the backup tapes.
Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit).

I particularly like BLAMESTORMING.

Useful for more than strictly Sys Admins. 😉 😀
