IT SupportOur IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

Christalmost forgot this one.
Was the technical lead in shifting a company which firmly believed (read : still had BNC clusterfucks stashed in hung ceiling) in hub based networking. My remit was to move them to switched all through the enterprise, then document, and fuck off accordingly.
Post install, contract was extended to include shifting business units into various subnets - without a word of a lie, I had to argue the toss with a fat sweaty linux zealot as to why he shouldn't have the company CVS server under his desk (as opposed to a locked / monitored / surveillance blessed comms room).
Linux zealot == business anathema.
Learn some proper Unix, ie: Berkeley derivative and System V, perhaps even a crack of the whip on OSF, before you try and convert an enterprise.
