When The IT Team Is Just You...

When The IT Team Is Just You...
Ah, the classic "one person wearing all the hats" syndrome. This is what happens when management says "we're streamlining IT operations" but really means "we fired everyone except you." The Squidward multiverse perfectly captures that moment when you're simultaneously fixing Karen's printer, fending off ransomware, resetting the CEO's password for the 17th time this month, and trying to figure out why Microsoft decided to move everything in the admin center again . Pro tip: When asked how long something will take, multiply your estimate by 5 and add "depending on how many password resets interrupt me." Works every time.

Revenge Is A Dish Best Served With Ethernet Cables

Revenge Is A Dish Best Served With Ethernet Cables
SWEET MOTHER OF ETHERNET! What you're witnessing is the ULTIMATE revenge plot - a server rack that's been turned into a chaotic spaghetti monster of cables by a recently fired IT person! 😱 That disgruntled network admin clearly thought, "You want to terminate ME? I'll terminate your ENTIRE NETWORK!" The absolute DRAMA of those green cables cascading everywhere like some deranged networking waterfall! This is why smart managers revoke server room access BEFORE delivering the pink slip. Otherwise, you'll be spending the next THREE WEEKS playing "which-cable-goes-where" while your entire company screams about being offline. Pure. Network. CHAOS.

With Great Firewall Power Comes Great Gaming Responsibility

With Great Firewall Power Comes Great Gaming Responsibility
The sweet irony of working in IT - spending your days blocking everyone's fun while secretly having the keys to the kingdom. That moment when you realize your company's firewall is cockblocking your Mario Kart session, but then remember YOU control the firewall. Suddenly those network administration certifications finally pay off! Nothing like using your godlike network privileges to ensure Blue Shell justice can be served, even on corporate Wi-Fi. The circle of tech life: create problems, sell solutions... to yourself.

If It Works, Don't Touch It

If It Works, Don't Touch It
The sacred commandment of tech support, embodied in physical form. That network switch has clearly been through several apocalypses, covered in dust, cobwebs, and what might be the remnants of ancient civilizations. Yet somehow, against all odds, those tangled Ethernet cables are still delivering packets. This is the production environment equivalent of balancing your entire infrastructure on a house of cards built by an intern who left six years ago. No documentation, no backups, just a prayer and that one guy who refuses to take vacations because "the system might notice he's gone." Cleaning it would be the responsible thing to do. Replacing it would be the correct thing to do. But touching it? That's how you become the person who took down the entire company because "it was dusty."
