I can't get any help here? I'm pist!
Got the run-around! Boy, I felt dissed!
Bet that super felt dumb
When I said where I'm from.
There's a building to add to his list.
A collegial bunch? But, of course!
But one customer caused us remorse,
Since one day we got burned,
And so quickly had learned
That we must start protecting our source.

The assistant had found it so stressing
Doing handheld device repair guessing.
What would bother me more?
How his boss is unsure.
"Should the teachers teach network addressing?"
Throwback Thursday Limerick (06/10/09)
When the fish calls the vendor, he learns
That the vendor, their warranty spurns.
Now his company’s screwed.
Will the vendor review
All their systems that track their returns?
"All my printouts are hosed! Can't you see?!?"
Now the vendor can fix it, not me.
All his docs will look fine.
And he'll no longer whine,
If he only would RTFD.
There's good management, but there's a few
Kept in management suites out of view.
They don't know what they're doing.
That keeps them from screwing
Up things for the workers that do.
In this case, this scenario plays.
There's one thing that this set up did raise.
While the pawns did the work,
It's a management perk -
That it's them that will get all the praise.
(This does not apply to my current employer...)
There's a buzz at this one ISV.
Will the prez change the name back? "Not me!"
New one's for IPO,
But it never did go.
Now the ISV's gone. RIP...
Throwback Thursday Limerick (6/16/09)
While the two vendors’ reps kept on dueling,
The department awaited a ruling.
No, some new guy they’ll try ‘
Cause he’s such a nice guy.
He’s some relative! Who are they fooling?
The school’s library admin is griping.
She gets garbage when she’s busy typing.
She had cleaned all her keys
And replaced them with ease
After doing a final key wiping.
But the cleaning she gave was discreet.
And that QWERTY she tried to defeat.
No, a Dvorak won’t do.
What she needs is a new
PC keyboard from Sesame Street.
There's two monitors needing a fix.
They were fixed with a couple of clicks.
Laptop screen's off! A crime!
Now that veep can't waste time
Watching JIM's motivational flicks.
TIME-MACHINE TUESDAY LIMERICK (6/24/09)
When the patches are issued, we meet,
And our room is reserved. It’s so sweet!
It’s all done through Exchange!
But this month, it’s so strange.
T’was signed out! We were kicked to the street.
But we did get the meeting room back
Without any Exchange system hack.
Would you find it ironic
And somewhat demonic
If sign outs were done on a Mac?
Oh, the outdoors! It can't be denied
In the spring, we enjoy it outside.
There is nary a care
As we breathe the fresh air
With the scent of poor Charlie that fried.
Kick the switch on the tape drive machine?
Let's expose them by using our bean.
We outsmarted the dopes
With a pipe and some soap
Since the culprits refused to come clean.
WAYBACK WEDNESDAY LIMERICK (7/1/09)
When we’re building the phonebook on-line,
There were nights when the jobs would run fine.
But at times, we were stumped.
For the time tenth and umpth
Folks were missing, and people would whine.
So in searching, the problem to catch,
We found timing that sometimes won’t match.
For the two jobs would start
Fifteen minutes apart.
Sometimes life in IT’s sure a batch.
THROWBACK THURSDAY LIMERICK (7/2/09)
When submitting the COO’s pension,
There’s an issue that got our attention.
It takes 1.8 mil
For his check to fulfill.
That’s a sum beyond our comprehension.
But there something that’s far greater yet.
And it’s something you’ve heard of, I bet.
As the news reports told
It’s some two hundredfold.
It’s how far Michael Jackson’s in debt.
