Can I Just Say
That people who work in IT, IT/Support and hate their jobs? Fuck off and get a new career.

I've now got over 25 years service in and I can't think of a better career....

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Sun-servers on fire over the shoulder of Ryan. I watched tape-reels glitter in the dark near the Mailgate. All those backups will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Time ... to die.

Cheers

You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down....
You look down and see a computer. It's trying to boot up...
The computer is looking for user input to select the boot up device, its case baking in the hot sun, waiting for the user input to boot into windows, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping...

I like that - is it a Dr Who misquote?

I feel the need to go and stand in the server room with the lights off now. No tape reels though, unfortunately.

And lo…

As Legless crouched down to the ground, the rain poured relentlessly over his muscular naked chest. He slowly releases his grip on the dove he had clutched so tightly and it flies away, signifying freedom for mankind and a stark reminder of the balance required between humanity and technology.

Deckard approaches the mighty yet misunderstood warrior and watches with a mixture of relief and remorse as the last moments of life force ebb from the once superhuman frame, now silent and still.

With his broken fingers still wracked with agony, Deckard leans towards the phenomenal machine and whispers…

“Aye oop, Legless, d’ya fancy a pint ya big nancy?”

Suddenly the once motionless torso stirs…it lurches back to life, heaving his massive, powerful shoulders high he scrambles to his feet and exclaims:

“Fookin’ get in there! – I thought you’d never ask. Now get the fookin’ Newky Brun in for the lads!”

Here here
I have a friend who works in IT and, while he's a nice guy and all, his job stresses him out no end and I can't count the number of times he's told me that he feels like going on a murderous rampage after a day at work.

Personally I don't see what's so bad about his situation, as he gets paid pretty well and he's doing better than me, a guy working on his MA and only earning a pittance from my part-time job. Just makes me wonder why he sticks with it...then again, so far as I know, he doesn't take it out on his customers and he's usually quite happy to help with my PC issues so long as I provide a session afterwards.
