<b>Infrastructure group</b>: you never approved our upgrade
to RHEL 4 because it required Oracle downtime. You never
agreed to the RHEL 3 upgrade because our proxy cant go down
or the PHB cant get to facebook. We were told not to upgrade
the RHEL 2 fileservers because the PHB keeps his
motivational MP3's there. The only machine we have running
RHEL6 is the one you made us install four days ago because
you attended a webinar..so...i guess we'll have it upgraded
by the end of the week.<br>

Falls into the same category as the subject, pretty much exactly.

A similar thing had happened to me when I was working for Quotron
Systems, Inc. back in the 80's. I had finished an early morning call
out way west of Ft. Lauderdale right across the street from a
Merrill Lynch office that had called in that all 3 systems were not
working. When I called for my next call the stupivisor (purposely
misspelled) sent me clear across to a Dean Witter in
Lauderdal-by-the-Sea which is about 40 to 50 min drive depending if
you get stuck at the drawbridge. As it turns out the Manager had
spilled coffee on his keyboard that poured down my arm as I held it
up. His comment at first was the freakin' keyboard had just stopped
working. As the coffee was running down my arm I turned and asked
him if he had been drinking coffee this morning as it was still
quite warm and sniffing the board you could tell that everything
inside was fried. After calling in for the next call the stupivisr
sent me back to the earlier Merrill Lynch office. When I arrived
everybody was yelling at me and making all kinds of threats and
nasty comments about the fact that I had been across the street and
did not come over after they had placed the call much earlier. The
stupivisor had also told them that he had notified me of the call.
The receptionist of our office stated later that the stupivisor had
the call but never told me about it until after the kybd call. Talk
about walking into hell imagine having over 50 stock brokers, sales
assistants jumping all over you because they lost tons of money by
not being able to do trades on a heavy market day.<br>
