As in, every single one of them.

Fill them up with data I don't care how you do it, just do it.

Then when the CE tells you to fix this mess tell him to go gently caress himself with a rusty USB plug

I've got an idea, but there's some risk.

You, and all those other people leaving can have one of two outcomes.

The first outcome is that everything goes down in a flaming shitshow. Like, you know how you said there was one day where the sports guy had to draw graphics on a whiteboard? Imagine that times ten.

The other outcome is that things mostly go chugging along as normal. This is a real possibility and I hope you don't take it personally when everything doesn't fall apart.

Buuuut... if the first one occurs, get a tivo and put that poo poo on Youtube.

I would have enjoyed watching the newscast he said they had the other week where someone was drawing on a whiteboard behind the newscaster because all their poo poo was broken. Although watching then go down in a flaming wreck after he leaves would be excellent as well.

I've been sitting under the anchors desk during a broadcast because I was fixing a broken bluetooth device in the last two seconds before on-air.

When the first spot came on I made my escape to the sound booth, and got chewed out by the sound guy because I didn't take the opportunity to tie the anchor's shoelaces together or undo his pants.

My dad was a journalist on DR (largest national TV station) back in the early 70s, and he has tons of stories about how the studio crew would mess with the anchors. Crawling onto the set just out of view of the camera during transmissions and pulling the pants off the sitting anchor, drop a goldfish in his water glass, or just swap the water with schnapps before he came on the set.

Clone the CE's desktop hard drive onto a Buffalo, set as boot device, disconnect or wipe internal drive, say you backed it up in a manner he would approve of?

An email came in from our old webmaster. Apparently he did a domain redirect for a company, but the company in question can't get the redirect to work. It works everywhere else, but no one at the company can get the page to redirect and it just shows an error saying the page can't be found.

The link he sent me was for the wrong URL.

I asked him to tell them to type in the URL instead of clicking the link he supplied them and oh look it works now I'm a genius what did I do to fix it.
