Site IT Defeated

This afternoon was amusing. A slob from the IT department sat for many hours in front of our computers trying to find Frau Regenbogen's hidden copies of Quake 2 with no success. I tried talking with the jerk to see what he was up to and I made a feeble attempt to get some idea of how close he might be to discovering copies of the concealed game. The IT guy had a conceited attitude which instantly rubbed me the wrong way just like Computer Termite did. I thought to myself, what's with these people? Just because they work on PCs for a living doesn't mean they are automatically better than everyone else around them or that they are some kind of geniuses. Most of them are the biggest, dorkiest, greasiest nerds I have ever crossed paths with. I seriously doubt any of them could do something as challenging as replace a flat tire on a vehicle or possess enough hand-eye coordination to feed a cat. God damn IT nerds. May they burn eternally in lakes of hell fire.

Mr. Hotshot IT guy became frustrated and irritable the longer he stayed on our line sniffing for videogames. Frau Regenbogen and I watched with glee when he got up from his chair pissed off. He came out of the search empty handed and I smelled failure. Bringing Squirmy over to the PCs he spoke with an aggivated tone in his voice. He asked Squirmy, "Are you sure we're looking for something on these computers? I haven't found anything on these machines". Squirmy seemed perplexed. He had better things to do with his time like schedule his next game of golf at the local course so he wasn't willing to get heavily involved in the search. Squirmy's number one Dingbat Snitch always gave up accurate information to him, she was his best intelligence agent so what went wrong? He didn't seem to have a clue. Neither IT guy or Squirmy could decide how to proceed, so Ace IT guy raised the white flag of surrender and split the scene. I was laughing so hard on the inside. We won this skirmish with Squirmy and site IT. As for the Dingbat I hope Squirmy will view her with less credibility from now on and maybe even beat her down a bit. That will seriously piss her off and anything that pisses her off makes me insanely giddy.

I'm impressed with Frau Regenbogen. He said he could bury Quake 2 so deep in our systems that the Devil would be screwin' around with it on his leased Packard Bell. Sure enough, he followed through and made the software switcheroo happen. Very cool. I expect from now on we will absolutely have to make sure none of the women are here in the area before we brawl the Network hombres. I swear those old broads are nothing but trouble to work with, they seem to enjoy going out of their way just to fuck with us. I'm constantly trying to find a way to return the favor.

Ahh yes, I had a run in with this IT asshole. I was explaining to him how our fastest PC had been running slow. Probably still screwed from one of termites's tweaks. He asked me what was wrong with the computer. I told him "for example when you use IE...". Immediately this asswipe launched into a diatribe on how slow runnig IE is not a company issue. I explained to him that he was an idiot and I was using IE as an example. He started trying to accuse me of all kinds of shit, so I said screw you and told him to forget it. He said that he was going to report me to my supervisor, so I said fine my name is Barley spelled B-A-R-L-E-Y and my supervisors desk is right there...

What a dickhead

Sounds like your company needs to hire better IT people. Just so you know, IT people come in all forms. We're not all lame ducks that sit in worship of the all-mighty microchip -- some of us are real people that have hobbies besides working on computers!

BTW, if your IT guy can't find Quake on your computer, he shouldn't be working in IT! It just goes to show you that the new IT people really don't have a clue how to run a system.

barley- yeah that guy was junk. hey call me d00d. i'm heading for reno and then boise a few days after your trip down here so we need to get everything settled. darci wants to hang out...

rectal_T- bout time you showed up in here. the old bag was Super Shopper. you remember her. trust me.

anon IT guy- absolutely we needed to hire better IT people however rarely if ever did they get anyone worth a shit. it wasn't until many years later that i finally ran across some extremely competent employees in their department. most of them turned out to be on the Unix side of the house... go figure.

anon xbox360- thanks for the compliments. much more to come so stay tuned.
