Unlimited powaaaa

We've got a slightly pointless "Tell-the-department-what-you-do" meeting at work today, but it did inspire me to write this little poem to read very dramatically later when it's my turn. It might make someone else chuckle, so I thought I'd post it here.

The ICT Oath

When there’s computer consternation, with fists raised in frustration,

Staff crying out for salvation; I’ll be there, I’ll be there.

When the printer is not printing, you’ll hear me softly sprinting,

With fierce eyes’ determined glinting; I’ll be there, I’ll be there.

When accounts need swiftly raising, on a new starter’s first days in,

With barely heard complaining, I’ll be there, I’ll be there.

Or with colleagues’ swift departing, or kit in boxes carting,

Or a device simply restarting; I’ll be there, I’ll be there.

If the network keeps on shirking, the WiFi’s just not working,

Look in the switch cabinet, lurking, I’ll be there, I’ll be there.

And if under desk needs going, with movements, graceful, flowing,

builder’s bum, just slightly, showing; I’ll be there, I’ll be there.

Missing access to your system? Just trust in me to listen,

And with ardour’s sweat a-glisten, I’ll be there, I’ll be there.

To with suppliers staunchly struggle, or servers’ programs juggle,

Sometimes Caps Lock, simply toggle, I’ll be there, I’ll be there.

And if you need entertaining, listen soft, and hear me straining,

To keep, your domain, maintaining; I am there, I am there.

For like ancient, storied Atlas, I shoulder this glass palace,

And with hands worn rough and callous; I am there, I am there.

But should I fall into a stupor, do not fear gentle user,

For support you will not lose here; have a care, have a care.

For I am not one but many, and my colleagues’ hands are steady,

And with vigilance, eternal, ready… we are there, we are there.

During today's fun events from Microsoft. I noticed a recent domain was purchased. When you have a chance check out fu**ingmicrosoft.com. Remove the asterisks of course.

when the customer's "IT" proposes its "solution"

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we couldn't help but think about those near misses that could have ruined your week, month, or even your year. We want to hear to whom or what you are most thankful for helping you save the day and avoid disaster, whether that's the person who triggered the virtual fire alarm or the new tool that alerted you before your turkey was cooked.

Nobody gets in…

Or out.
