All I can say is thank goodness for salvage!

I know a guy who was in the department for 8 years, and they never really gave him the ability to change passwords for the users he served. They wanted to keep the numbers down on who could do this to 2 or 3 people… If we all took vacations at the same time, it was a nightmare for the users who forgot or didn't change their passwords before they were forced to change them. Users were locked out until an administrator could be reach on their vacation.

Pointy Head: "I can't save files to the server."
IT Guy: "Hmm..It appears VP Fred has filled it up with his entire collection of birthday podcasts."

One day our Help Desk received a call from an irate teacher indicating that they were not able to save their report cards and they had no doubt that the problem was caused by "The Computer Guy" who had been spotted in the school the day before.

“No problem. Your I’ll reset your password to the word password with a capital P, and a zero for the 0. Once you log in you’ll be prompted to change it.”

( long pause )

“I’ll make sure I typed it right… OK… For your password type capital P, lower case a s, lower case s, lower case w, the number zero, lower case r, lower case d.”

TS: Am I to understand that the only copy of your book manuscript is
small enough to fit on a floppy; and the only copy is now jammed in your
machine?

PHP: Well, you don't need to say it that way.

At a university law school there was a secretary that had managed to accumulate a file structure of 14,000 files in 9000 subdirectories. That woman can file!

It all started with "Bob, I need to see you in my office." Counsel decided that we needed to retain e-mail and user files for a potential litigation. So instead of implementing a system to, uh, "archive" mail and files it was decided to just take our backup tapes for each day, keep them. Buying new tapes as needed. Thereby solving the problem, once and for all.
