RE: [PLUG] OT: SysAdmin Humor
|
We had a similar chant in college (to be sung after EE and CE exams at
Drexel to the tune of "lumberjack"). Our user's group spent too much time
hacking, screwing around rather than trying to pass exams. By the time we
all figured it out, most were close to being kicked out of school (or
dropped out).
THE VENT MAN SONG
(DUser's Theme)
Author--let's leave it anonmymous.
I'm a vent man and I'm okay
I sleep here almost every day.
I chew my food, grunt and shout,
and sleep under the old pine tree.
On Wednesdays I go shopping
I get my food for free.
Grab old coats and trousers
and trashed lipton bags for tea.
I'm a vent man and I'm okay
I sleep here almost every day.
I chew my food, grunt and shout,
and sleep under the old pine tree.
so if you see me on my vent
Don't pay me any heed.
while you pay taxes
I don't pay not rent.
I'm a vent man and I'm okay
I sleep here almost every day.
I chew my food, grunt and shout,
and sleep under the old pine tree.
We had gone so far in our crusade as to map out every vent in the
Penn/Drexel area regarding desirability.
Criteria?
Did it have heat (steam) or did it blow cool air?
Did it have close proximity to frequently filled trash cans?
Did it provide some sort of shelter from winds or really foul weather?
Even mapped out our summer vacation vents (they blew cool air).
Yes...we had too much perceived time on our hands.
I was the only one in the initial group to actually graduate (but all are
successful...go figure).
I still wonder whatever happened to the map...

For you Monty Python fans out there ...
Set to a classic Monty Python tune, "I'm a lumberjack ".
I never really wanted to be a scientist.
I wanted to be...a...A SYSADMIN!
[system engineer choir and shift supervisor enter, music strikes up]
Oh, I'm a sysadmin and I'm OK,
I grep all night and I chown all day.
[choir] He's a sysadmin and he's OK, He greps all night and he
chowns all day.
I ping the nodes, I do PM, I awk and perl and sed.
I've got a Star Wars lunchbox, and Tron sheets on my bed!
[choir] He pings the nodes, he does PM, he awks and perls and
seds.
He's got a Star Wars lunchbox, and Tron sheets on his bed!
[repeat chorus]
I ping the nodes, I change the rates,
I fork the processes. I wish that all my lusers would catch some
rare disease!
[choir, growing slightly uncomfortable] He pings the nodes, he
changes rates, He forks the processes. He wishes all his lusers
would catch some rare disease! [choir brightens as they repeat
chorus]
I ping the nodes, I lock the /home partition and umounts.
I post .gifs of my boss's daughter from his own account!
[choir, very uncomfortable and trailing off]
He pings the nodes, he locks the /home partition and
umounts...??
