    ROFLMAO!!!!!

    I'm a network administrator!!!!!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    hahaha. If I was a network administrator, I'd quit my job just to have the opportunity to hand over that letter.


    Thank you Wolfie!

    That's classic!

    Scott will love that, he was a network admin once (before the bottom fell out of the IT industry) and he knew all sorts of interesting tidbits about his boss (and his slackass daughter!)

    I think I'll pass this along to Brian. He's another IT guy, and he certainly could relate!

    Thank you Wolf_Q!
