Declared Victor to Mike one day, “Hark,
We’ll use Uniform codes! Let’s embark!”
Should an argument brew
And turn into a feud,
Would it be between Jets and the Sharks?
Install A? You must first install B.
Install B? You must first install C.
But with C, they did say
You must first install A?
This was made by some ID-10-T!!!

The young pilot fish got quite berated
When the node issues all were related.
Should that one PO’d user,
The fish’s abuser,
Take something to get him sedated?
"To Development, let's move Production"
Was the ID-10-T's veep's instruction.
It worked fine for two weeks,
'Til a programming geek's
Coding caused quite a huge interruption.
They said what we delivered ain't right.
The sound skips while the plane is in flight.
Why'd the client get bent?
It's the clip that they sent.
It's like this.
Was the user's mouse really that hosed?
Nothing worked of my fixes proposed.
Then my co-worker said,
"Swap the case out instead."
Then the mouse came to life, so case closed!
All those tech support calls! They're the worst!
It was like in my job I was cursed.
I won't haw, and won't hem
Thinking "RTFM"
But it'd help if they did that step first...

Training’s hosed from the blocker's routine.
“Have a pop-up show up on the screen!”
The director was shocked.
“You can’t do that! They’re blocked.”
Though my thoughts were a bit more obscene.
For this tale, I say "What in tarnation!"
A call came while I picked up libation,
My wife then took a guess:
"The blue button you press."
Let's put her on the on-call rotation!

As a sorting decision was made,
The boss screamed at me, acting quite frayed,
“Don’t you talk like a geek!
It’s just data I seek!
If you’re lucky, some day you’ll get paid!”

Was the tech a remote network hater?
Brought the net down, then said, “See you later!”
It’s when things go awry
That explains to you why
My new hero is named Steven Slater.

There’s an issue that will not compute.
"Fix that bug? Well, someday we’ll get to’t."
When Canuck, 'twas no fun.
Since I’m home, "Git ‘er done!"
Now it’s fixed. That is what I’m aboot!
Default end times we'd like to enact.
This new mod, Level 2 loudly backed.
I'm sure you could relate -
This mod sure would work great
If the system could only subtract.

There’s a spec missed that’s got us concerned.
There’s OT. Midnight oil’s been burned.
Now there’s good news, they say.
Install’s three months away.
Hey, just think of the comp time we’ve earned!

Since our fiber line’s running so crappy,
I replaced it to make it more snappy.
“This three seconds,“ one asked,
“Can you make it more fast?”
Man, some users you just can’t make happy.
Memory-Lane Monday Limerick (8/17/10)
I did something that wasn’t too smart.
Down the network? Oh, be still my heart!
As I look back, I say
That I’m sure it’s the way
That our friend JIM THE BOSS got his start.
