<h1>101 Things you do <i>NOT</i> want your System Administrator to say.</h1>
<ol>
<li>Uh-oh.....
<li>Shit!!
<li>What the hell!?
<li>Go get your backup tape. (You <b>do</b> have a backup tape?)
<li>That's SOOOOO bizarre.
<li>Wow!! Look at this.....
<li>Hey!! The suns don't do this.
<li>Terminated??!
<li>What software license?
<li>Well, it's doing <b>something</b>.....
<li>Wow....that seemed <b>fast</b>.....
<li>I got a better job at Lockheed...
<li>Management says...
<li>Sorry, the new equipment didn't get budgetted.
<li>What do you mean that wasn't a copy?
<li>It didn't do that a minute ago...
<li>Where's the GUI on this thing?
<li>Damn, and I just bought that pop...
<li>Where's the DIR command?
<li>The drive ate the tape but that's OK, I brought my screwdriver.
<li>I cleaned up the root partition and now there's <b>lots</b> of free space.
<li>What's this "any" key I'm supposed to press?
<li>Do you smell something?
<li>What's that grinding sound?
<li>I have never seen it do *that* before...
<li>I think it should not be doing that...
<li>I remember the last time I saw it do that...
<li>You might as well all go home early today ...
<li>My leave starts tomorrow.
<li>Ooops.
<li>Hmm, maybe if I do this...
<li>"Why is my "rm *.o" taking so long?"
<li>Hmmm, curious...
<li>Well, <b>my</b> files were backed up.
<li>What do you mean you needed that directory?
<li>What do you mean /home was on that disk? I umounted it!
<li>Do you really need your home directory to do any work?
<li>Oracle will be down until 8pm, but you can come back in and finish your work when it comes up tonight.
<li>I didn't think anybody would be doing any work at 2am, so I killed your job.
<li>Yes, I chowned all the files to belong to pvcs. Is that a problem to you?
<li>We're standardizing on AIX.
<li>Wonder what <i>this</i> command does?
<li>What did you say your (l)user name was...? ;-)
<li>You did <b>what</b> to the floppy???
<li>Sorry, we deleted that package last week...
<li>NO! Not <b>that</b> button!
<li>Uh huh......"nu -k $USER".. no problem....sure thing...
<li>Sorry, we deleted that package last week...
<li>[looks at workstation] "Say, what version of DOS is this running?"
<li>Oops! (said in a quiet, almost surprised voice)
<li><b>YEEEHA!!!</b> What a <b>CRASH!!!</b>
<li>What do you mean that could take down the whole network?
<li>What's this switch for anyways...?
<li>Tell me again what that '-r' option to rm does
<li>Say, What does "Superblock Error" mean, anyhow?
<li>If I knew it wasn't going to work, I would have tested it sooner.
<li>Was that <b>your</b> directory?
<li>System coming down in 0 min....
<li>The backup procedure works fine, but the restore is tricky!
<li>Hey Fred, did you save that posting about restoring filesystems with vi and a toothpick? More importantly, did you print it out?
<li>OH, SH*T! (as they scrabble at the keyboard for ^c).
<li>The sprinkler system isn't supposed to leak is it?
<li>It is only a minor upgrade, the system should be back up in a few hours. (This is said on a monday afternoon.)
<li>I think we can plug just one more thing in to this outlet strip with out triping the breaker.
<li>What is all this I here about static charges destroying computers?
<li>I found this rabbit program that is supposed to test system performance and I have it running now.
<li>Ummm... Didn't you say you turned it off?
<li>The network's down, but we're working on it. Come back after diner. (Usually said at 2200 the night before thesis deadline...)
<li>Ooops. Save your work, everyone. <b>FAST!</b>
<li>Boy, it's a lot easier when you know what you're doing.
<li>I hate it when that happens.
<li>And what does it mean 'rm: .o: No such file or directory'?
<li>Why did it say '/bin/rm: not found'?
<li>Nobody was using that file /vmunix, were they?
<li>You can do this patch with the system up...
<li>What happens to a Hard Disk when you drop it?
<li>The only copy of Norton Utilities was on THAT disk???
<li>Well, I've got a backup, but the only copy of the restore program was on <b>THAT</b> disk....
<li>What do mean by "fired"?
<li>hey, what does mkfs do?
<li>where did you say those backup tapes were kept?
<li>...and if we just swap these two disc controllers like <b>this</b>...
<li>don't do that, it'll crash the sys........ SHIT
<li>what's this hash prompt on my terminal mean?
<li>dd if=/dev/null of=/vmunix
<li>find /usr2 -name nethack -exec rm -f {};
<li>now it's funny you should ask that, because I don't know either
<li>Any more trouble from you and your account gets moved to the 750
<li>Ooohh, lovely, it runs SVR4
<li>SMIT makes it all so much easier......
<li>Can you get VMS for this Sparc thingy?
<li>I don't care what he says, I'm <b>not</b> having it on <b>my</b> network
<li>We don't support that. We <b>won't</b> support that.
<li>...and after I patched the microcode...
<li>You've got TECO. What more do you want?
<li>We prefer not to change the root password, it's an nice easy one
<li>Just add yourself to the password file and make a directory...
