I spent 6/7ths of my day waiting for my fileserver to actually serve files to me and the rest of the office and it got so bad that people could barely get work done. The interaction went something like this:
9:30AM, Interior, Office:
Jake: Goodmorning Snap! I’d like my desktop please.
SnapServer: …
Jake: Ok. I can see you’re busy. I’ll just go make myself a bagel and-
SnapServer: Goooood MORNING!
Jake: Oh awesome, can I have my-
SnapServer: ….
1:30PM:
Jake: Hey Snap..I was wondering if I could maybe look in the Clients folder for Hoby? You apparantly stopped talking to his computer.
SnapServer: No I didn’t.
Jake: So the big “Server Disconnected” message on his mac is just a coincidence?
SnapServer: Well maybe if he wasn’t using a mac…
Jake: What?
SnapServer: Nothing, look. See, right there. I have him logged in over 60 times.
Jake: Well that’s just it, he can’t possibly be logged in that many times it must be your problem. It should just be the once. Right? Snap?
SnapServer:…Fuc…Fuck offffgaa…
…
I can only image what the fuck it’s doing during those pauses. Seriously, the thing has to serve data to 9 people for 7 hours a day. I could do it’s job with a filing cabinet and a bottle of scotch. The filing cabinet to help me look the part and the scotch to help me become catatonic and unresponsive to people’s requests for data while I occasionally gain consciousness to announce to the world that I, Lord Urine, must make a mighty oration. With my kingly scepter.
So there you have it. My job is taking care of the town drunk.
Let’s hope the king keeps his pants on tomorrow.
Edit: I would be remiss if I didn’t post this classic:
