"2016.04.30: IT in Hell (is that redundant?)"
 
   gryphon
The topic of the unit I'm working on for work right now is called "Sequencing the Basic Rigid Motions". I have nothing to add.

mephron
that reeks of me talking to a friend writing a sex-with-a-robot story and describing it in the same terms as a hard drive seeking. she nearly fell off her chair, because I dropped my voice a bit and put on a little smirk and kepy saying "oh yeah" like a barry white song.

gryphon
"no bad sectors, baby"

mephron
"The head cycling back and forth, seeking her pleasure, mmm yeah."

bzarcher
oh god you sound like Touga doing tech support.

mephron
there may have been a bit of inspiration from that, yes

gryphon
that would have been a suitable punishment for him, come to think

bzarcher
hah

gryphon
Infernal IT Guy Touga. Polo shirt, belt holster StarTAC.

bzarcher
Probably has a bluetooth headset now.

gryphon
in Hell? nah. analog StarTAC, never has more than one bar of signal.

or one of those stupid Nextel walky-talky phones.

with the speaker turned up so high you can't tell who's on the other end because all voices sound alike.

bzarcher
Hah. I was thinking more along the douchebag axis, but yessss, you make a good point.

gryphon
heheh, analog StarTAC with a ​wired​ headset.

bzarcher
ooo

   All that needs to top it off (probably couldn't do it on TV) is the Dalek screaming, "E-JAC-U-LATE!"

   No need, the WD-40 line gave me a giggle fit that'll last until at least this time tomorrow. ;)

   BES. WinCE. Palm Desktop. Pop email accounts on multiple devices.

Metered data connections.

I'm going to go drink until I can't find the bottle anymore.

   Maki saw Izumi fall, saw the red-eyed, wolf-jawed, shadow-black thing that had been the IT guy standing over her, and screamed. It was not a scream of fear, in spite of the tech support man's monstrous transformation, for Maki was not the sort of woman to be fearful of technical support. Nor was it a scream of denial, for denial was futile in the face of a blue screen of death, and futility was a waste of time. No, Maki's scream was an alloy of grief, and pain, and corrupted sound card drivers - a primal human cry to some greater power for the strength to do something in redress of this terrible wrong.

   For some reason, I am now wanting to try and find any of the old "Sys-admin from hell" stories.

   The stories in question are from the "Bastard Operator from Hell", FYI. Good stuff.
