Oh god, I had forgotten about scuba_diving_servers.jpg. A classic. Sirotan, definitely repost that story. I have a distinct memory of reading it the first time and realizing that hey, maybe I had picked the wrong career path.

AcidRonin posted:I mean nothing beats walking in to the datacenter with my first undrunk coffee in my hand in the morning and seeing this chipper golden retriever puppy staring at me like "oh, good morning human, my owner tied me to this weird blinky thing. Sure is noisy in here isn’t it? Also is this thing what has all the lights on it food? These trees are strange…. do you have bacon?". I want to know what went through the mind of whoever brought their dog in here. Also, i want to fire building security. I think step 1 is relocate said cute animal away from the like millions in taxpayer dollars he might pee on. The owner of our company routinely brings her 2 chihuahuas into the office and lets them have free reign. It's incredibly irritating, but I can't imagine them getting into our server room. Thank god for small miracles. She also sneaks them past building security in her purse. I can't wait for the day that one of the guards asks her why her purse is yipping.

tomapot posted:You mean like that one Xmas party that resulted one of the techs dancing to Dancing Queen all by himself then later on getting groped by his manager? Apparently a couple years ago some marketing girls got absolutely trashed and ended up throwing up in public. I think this was a different year than one of them getting up on the table and dancing. While wearing a skirt, of course.

coyo7e posted:If someone from a former place of employment called me up and got rude trying to get me to come fix their poo poo, I'd probably tell THEM to jerk ME off before I might (yeah, right I wouldn't show up anyway,) show up. And make sure to tell them to put it into a ticket. I think the funniest part is that someone thought that he was lying when he said "I don't work here anymore." That'd be a hell of an excuse if you DID still work there.
