Kathy can probably identify with a few of these... IceBear ---------------------------------------------------------- Here are some essential additions for your System Admin vocabulary: [grin] BLAMESTORMING: Sitting around in a group, discussing why a server went down, and who was responsible. SEAGULL MANAGER: A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves. CUBE FARM: An office filled with cubicles. MOUSE POTATO: The on-line, wired generation's answer to the couch potato. STRESS PUPPY: An admin who seems to thrive on being stressed out, whiney, and complains about stupid users all day. SWIPEOUT: An access card that has been rendered useless because the magnetic strip is worn away from extensive use. PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE: The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again. 404: A completely clueless end-user. OHNOSECOND: That fraction of time after hitting Enter, in which you realize that you've just permanently erased a big database. Inoculatte: Taking coffee intravenously when you are pulling an all-nighter getting that database online from the backup tapes. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.
