    New System Admin Words For 2003

    BLAMESTORMING: Sitting around in a group, discussing why a server went down, and who was responsible.

    SEAGULL MANAGER: A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.

    CUBE FARM: An office filled with cubicles.

    MOUSE POTATO: The on-line, wired generation's answer to the couch potato.

    STRESS PUPPY: An admin who seems to thrive on being stressed out, whiney, and complains about stupid users all day.

    SWIPEOUT: An access card that has been rendered useless because the magnetic strip is worn away from extensive use.

    PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE: The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.

    404: A completely clueless end-user.

    OHNOSECOND: That fraction of time after hitting Enter, in which you realize that you've just permanently erased a big database.

    Inoculatte: Taking coffee intravenously when you are pulling an all-nighter getting that database online from the backup tapes.

    Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit).
    Failure is not an option -- its a "feature" of Windows.

    Mama never told me geekhood was gonna be like this....
