BOFH Episode 15

[Buck]

"The PFY and I are quieter than Sonny Bono's tree detector..."

:rofl:

 

[Will Rickards]

Aargh... still can't get to the site from work.
It doesn't give any error message it just doesn't work.
My requests must be blocked along with whoever is doing the DDOS attack.

 

[GMac]

#37 sneaked out whilst I was enjoying my week's hols - enjoy! :mrgrn:

Ha! Sounds like he came to a foreign land.

:lol: Bells can smell the Vindaloo from the PFY's eating habits!

Nice twist at the end.

 

[Buck]

Episode 42 What a way to start the day.

 

[Buck]

Episode 1 -- a great way to start the year.

 

[The JoJo]

I was getting anxious about when the next one will come...
A good one, again.
Thanks buck!

 

[Buck]

Episode 2

:rofl:

>KZERT<

 

[GMac]

That extra holiday's obviously done him good :lol:

GM

 

[The JoJo]

Hehee, Total Cost of Ownership....

 

[GMac]

Time for Episode 3 - brown paper envelopes ahoy!! :lol:

GM

 

[Buck]

Thanks for posting that GM. I love their measurement of time:

"Yep, and by my calculation the first hole should be drilled in about 4.5 pints time!"

"Best get drinking then!"

. . . 4.5 hours later . . .

:rofl:

 

[GMac]

THis week, he's really living up to his name :mrgrn:

Episode 4 - When Desk Lamps Attack

GM

 

[ddrueding]

"Yea...no" hehehe

 

[Buck]

"I . . . decide . . . to deal with this in a much more adult manner - in keeping with my responsible image."

:mrgrn:

Thanks GM.

 

[GMac]

This week, it's affirmative action time (no prejudice in his workplace it seems :mrgrn: ).

Episode 5 - The BOFH's Guide to Equal Opportunities

GM

 

[Buck]

"And there go the wheels from the going-home-early plan." :lol:

 

[Buck]

Episode 6 - Danger, Falling Computing Peripherals

:rofl: :compress:

 

[ddrueding]

"Bugger me!"

One of my favorites to date.

 

[The JoJo]

I can't stop laughing...... :mrgrn:

 

[Tannin]

This thread must be getting close to being one of the most read around here. As, indeed, if the BOFH. And rightly so. I rarely visit the reg these days (too many other things to do) but this one keeps popping up to remind me.

 

[GMac]

First time I've been to the Reg for a few days - glad I did :mrgrn:

GM

 

[GMac]

The latest dose of BOFH-related goodness - how not to run comms cabling between buildings :lol:

Episode 7 - Goin' Underground

GM

 

[The JoJo]

Hehe:
"Course not, what do we look like, cowboys?"

 

[Buck]

 

[MaxBurn]

I rather like the previous one with the mention of the metal lamp with a creative power cord. The ideas I pick up from this guy....

 

[Buck]

Episode 8 . . . What an opening sentence.

 

[GMac]

Brilliant - and oh so true..... :mrgrn:

GM

 

[MaxBurn]

Last two weren't up to snuff in my opinion...

 

[Buck]

Episode 9 - Critical Mass of Geeks

I halt abruptly with arrival of the entire global OS2 fan club (both of them) dressed in "The one true OS" t-shirts. Size XXXXL if I'm not mistaken.

:mrgrn:

 

[LunarMist]

I don't understand the job positions. What are the BOFH and PFY?

 

[Buck]

I don't understand the job positions. What are the BOFH and PFY?

An IT group:
BOFH: Ba****d Operator From Hell
PFY: Pimple Faced Youth (his assistant).

 

[LunarMist]

Yes, I know they were IT, but did not understand the acronyms. I guess they are not industry standard terminology.
