With their tickets for help desk, they thought,
"Here's a name - we'll let him take a shot.
We are not really sure
He's worked on this before,
But he is the best hope that we've got.
...or, as I posted it...

FLASHBACK FRIDAY LIMERICK (4/7/10)
Why’s the network perform with such slowness?
I’ve been charged with this difficult onus.
Every fix, he’ll say, “No!
Get to work! Make it so!
Just as long as it won’t cut my bonus!”

Yes, a rollout of Seven is planned,
But for now, the new OS is banned.
Yes, your protests are heard.
Now, what part of the word
We call “No” do you not understand?
"Use no passwords? That's strictly forbidden."
Bosses' edict the fish quickly did in.
For that logic got ripped
When some keyboard got flipped
Where a password was secretly hidden.

As a PC DOS programming geek,
It’s consulting work like this I’d seek.
I would think it was great
If I could charge a rate
That was twelve thousand dollars a tweak.
FLASHBACK FRIDAY LIMERICK (4/13/10)
They should fill out their tickets expressly.
“We’ve misspelled the name for intern Lesley.”
Twenty minutes were shot,
For the ticket I got
To change Leslie to Lesley’s done mess’ly.
MEMORY-LANE MONDAY LIMERICK (4/14/10)
Does the BitBus’s checksum not match?
Let’s reload all its software from scratch.
What was causing the snags
And was losing our bags?
‘Twas installing an incorrect patch.
WAYBACK WEDNESDAY LIMERICK (4/15/10)
The assistant said, “Something’s amiss.
There’s a problem that seems to persist.
Now the OCR’s dead
When a doc’s backwards fed.

Since the boss’s aid’s using her bean,
IT treats her just like she’s a queen.
She’s the one with the sense
To pay off our expense,
So our hats off to you, Mrs. Green!
MEMORY-LANE MONDAY LIMERICK (4/20/10)
Oh, my gosh! Am I some kind of geek?
While I’m sleeping, still techie I speak!
I’ll be fixing a stall
That I can not recall.
Why can’t I dream of girls like Moanique?
While I'm talking with one of my mates,
A thought hits while his thoughts he relates.
"Disk - a floppy or stiffy?
That ref'rence so iffy:
The same thing, but two different states.”
WAYBACK WEDNESDAY LIMERICK (4/21/10)
We are experts at data reviving.
Our accountants say we’re really thriving.
Do we use our own service?
Nah! That makes me nervous!
I told them, “Man, you must be jiving!”
“For our back-up procedures are sloppy.
There’s no feedback to say there’s a copy.”
I then told my boss, “Geez,
I would be more at ease
If I did it myself on a floppy!”
FLASHBACK FRIDAY LIMERICK (4/23/10)
When the engineer called, I said “Watt?
Wire you sure our program is shot?”
Our new program detected
It’s all not connected.
It’s shocking! Revolting! They’re caught!
MEMORY-LANE MONDAY LIMERICK (4/26/10)
“This darn mouse won't work! It’s so insane!
It keeps bouncing!” I heard him complain.
But his mouse pad? Alas,
It’s a clear piece of glass,
Which to use with a mouse is a pane.
While I left with professional flair,
It appeared that IT didn't care
For a year and a half,
It would cause me to laugh -
It was like I was still working there.
WAYBACK WEDNESDAY LIMERICK (4/29/10)
It’s not prudent, I’m saying today.
Punching DSDD’s not the way.
You are running the risk
That by changing a disk
That our GI’s become DOA.
