Umm! Well, .... he *might* have meant the contacts ..... or he may have intentionally been ambiguous! ;D

Argh!

They installed a new security system on the network last night; and broke 5000 computers! Mine included!

Just what we need in the middle of the tsunami relief effort!

Umm. Yeah, that's how us sys admins keep ourselves busy, doncha know.....

Sorry bout that. (not that I was involved in YOUR systems, but I know the feeling)

Yeah, my $300 netbook with my $400 SGT tethered to it, and my $20 SmartCard reader makes OWA work just fine, but our multi hundreds of million dollar WAN $#!T all over itself.

Trouble is I keep my email in a local PST file that's inaccessible! Never mind that it's against regulations to use my personal computer for Government work!

URK!! I read a few; no, not like THAT, I'm not! I actually *like* restoring files from backups. Don't do it every week, mind you, but in the ordinary course of things, I'm a fairly nice sys admin!

SameOldStory · 04-01-2011, 09:40 PM

Sure you are.

Just what's that sword for, if I may ask? (Without getting my head cut off, that is.)

How come?

I was all excited about getting a new gas grill. It was delivered today at 8am. My enthusiasm is waning as I procrastinate in putting it together. I could wait till my SO has time to do it. That would've been an option if I hadn't opened the box and spread the pieces all over the living room. At this point it would be easier to put it together than try to get it back into the box.

I thought I was the only one that did that.

I've learned to leave it in the box and it "magically" gets put together by the next person to see it and wants to open the box.

Congratulations and have fun with your new grill.

Thanks! He did tell me that I made a mistake by opening it in the living room. Had I opened it in his man cave it would have been put together by now. I'm thinking I need to take his tv and put it in front of "my" tv. Then he'll be lured into the wide open space. Plus, it's closer to the source of beer!

What!?

You mean he doesn't have a personal mini-fridge in the man cave?

He did! For about a day. Then we realised it just looked ridiculous! Our neighbor was getting rid of their mini fridge when we were creating the cave.
