Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

I'm already wearing what my nephew dubbed my witch shoes (they are just very pointy and black and high.)
It's amazing how many IT conversations lend themselves to straight man mock-dismay or Beavis comments of "huh huh you said mount".
No kidding. Sometimes I feel like the only one in our group who realizes how wrong certain things sound and I don't want some of these people know blue I can be.
Though my all time favorite report wasn't even filthy sounding. I just got to explain we were down because "a wheel fell off." I don't get to say that very often wrt computers.

Sounds like the PCI bus streamed too much data into one place and it collapsed into a digital singularity (not to be confused with The Singularity) where not even assembly code can escape out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Or maybe just the bit bucket was full....

any bets on hitting or beating the 777 drop from last week? The trading floor support guys are going nuts since they used to be on the floor.

Only 66 more points to go. I can't say I'd bet against it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
