#1 Bastard Operator from Hell

Post by Destructionator XV »

Hilarious stories from the Bastard Operator from Hell, a shared system administrator who takes calls and takes care of user's issues... with the delete commands.

Start with #1 and read right on down, this is golden.

edit: example:
I put the phone on the hook for the first time this afternoon and it starts ringing almost immediately. THAT'S IT! I redirect it to 911 catch a bit of shuteye. That'll teach them. OOPS! Almost forgot to turn over the excuse calendar. "STATIC FROM NYLON UNDERWEAR" Nope, too plausable - although in some cases I could do an on-site check. Nah, can't be stuffed. I'll pick another one. "STATIC FROM PLASTIC SLIDE RULES" Now THAT'S one with a challenge!
I un-redirect the phone and drag the rubbish bin so it rests on the printer's stacker - another job well done. The phone rings - this could be the big one!

Ahh...the BOFH, and his trusty homocidal asisstant, the Pimply Face Youth (PFY).

Good times I've had reading Simon's BOFH and Stripped Bucket Irregulars.

I definatly suggest trying to find his early, Stripped Bucket Irregulars stuff, he has it linked somewhere on his archive page...
