September 16, 2011 - Why we love being on-call

In our chain, I’m support level three.
Level two’s tech and I both agree:
Can’t log in for a year?
Now it’s urgent? I fear
That does not make it urgent to me.

September 15, 2011 - And 25 years later, not on CDs or DVDs either

Drive replacement is something I hate!
They used Wite-out on labels? How great!
With new labels, no dough
From our comp’ny will go
Into Mike Nesmith’s mother’s estate.

September 14, 2011 - And much better than having a paralegal flip a switch

We used ISDN. ‘Twas a breeze.
I’ve installed it with greatest of ease.
At the new place, they’re stunned.
We are now on T1
Since their printer eats over ten G’s.

September 13, 2011 - Sometimes it just takes younger eyes

'Twas a really tull order, a trick
When the guy couldn’t make my fix stick
A mere fifteen-year-old
Understood what I told,
Since her father’s as thick as a brick

September 12, 2011 - Not really a retirement gift, but it felt that way

"Fiber optic we need to succeed!"
And the bigger boss said he agreed!
He’s an optic subscriber!
The fish gets his fiber.
That’s what all retirees need!
