New phone

[Snoopy]

Well, I am just about to inform all my lovely (ab)users that we will be putting the servers back in the rack this afternoon (we had to pull them out when we got flooded in that torrential downpour) and that internet/email access will be frequently interrupted all afternoon - should cheer them up.

Clearly you enjoy your work

But how will you post on this forum

I have 2 ISA servers and I am the only person who can choose which one to use, ie the working one, not the one being moved. Users will have a 50/50 chance as to which server they are on and whether they can access the web.

Good grief I'd be cross if I was on the non-working one.

Tough t***y.
Users should be seen and not heard. They can do some work for a change instead of browsing forums like this one.

Wise words indeed Tel. So far this morning I have had to re-create someones Recycle Bin that they accidentally deleted and find out whay one person's hard drive suddenly had no available memory (40GB hard drive)...

To be fair, any phone I get here I buy and own. 

So the phone is not under contract from the telephone company ? they just charge me CY?1 per month for the SIM.

So while ?free? phones are not available in the long run it works out significantly cheaper. 

Not on my plan! I signed up for it seven years ago and they have spent the last three trying to get me off it! 

What do you pay then?

Just seen this of page one!  

?15 a month, 50 free mins of calls a day that roll over if I don't use them and a text bundle of 50 a month that also rolls over. Plus a free upgrade to my handset every year or money towards a trade in. The only time I go over the ?15 is when I use my phone abroad.

That'll be ?180 per year against my ?12 then? 

You're foreign you don't count. 

I can count to 180 - 12

Engineers AKA Computer Service people note:

Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.

Great fun. Pulling cables out left right and centre, occasionaly plugging some back in.

A friend of mine does that. Unfortunately, she is a nurse

All done, not without some interesting moments though.

[Uncle Mort]

Would that be interesting as defined by the general populus or interesting as defined by I.T.?

If the latter no need to go into details. 

[tel]

It was the latter and made all the better by the fact that the switchboard went loop, displayed my name on someone elses phone and would not let anybody connect to me. I am responsible for the switch as well, but this was not deliberate.
