Good Friday, stuck in an office unable to do work, because the database server I need to connect to is in Birmingham - where they've just shut everything down for maintenance over the Easter weekend...:reallymad
Anyway, on the subject of IT maintenance, a warning for technophobes: if there's a problem with your PC at work, and the techie person says to you "don't worry, fixing it will be a picnic", punch him.
You see, he doesn't mean it'll be easy for him per se, he 's just using an acronym. PICNIC is tech-speak for "Problem in Chair, Not in Computer"
:D
Similary, be wary of the term "CKI bug" (Chair-Keyboard Interface) and being given the fault reference number ID-Ten-T...
