Afternoon all,

It being the afternoon of Friday the 13th, I sensibly decided to avoid
any form of work on the grounds that it was bound to go wrong and came
up with this little bit of filk instead.  Many apologies to the spirits
of Flanders & Swann for mangling their gem of a song - I only wish that
I could be as funny as them.

The Admin Cometh
----------------

'Twas on a Monday morning the admin came to call,
We'd brought a brand new Indy, but it wouldn't boot at all.
He fscked and he fiddled and soon got it to work,
But the luser wanted Netscape, 'cause the luser was a jerk.

Oh it all makes work for the BOFHing class to do...

'Twas on a Tuesday morning the lanman made a show,
He cabled and connected, packets soon began to flow.
Then the luser filled his hard drive up with GIFs of kinky sex,
So he ordered up a SCSI drive, rushed here by FedEx.

Oh it all makes work for the BOFHing class to do...

'Twas on a Wednesday morning the SCSI priest arrived,
With cabling, two goats and her bloody aaaaaaltar knife.
Two sacrifices later the disks began to spin,
The luser waited 20 hours, then he called us up ag'in.

Oh it all makes work for the BOFHing class to do...

'Twas on a Thursday morning we got another call,
With the standard SG setup, the luser couldn't work at all.
He wanted C compilers, NIS+ and NFS,
By the time the we had installed it all, it was a total mess.

Oh it all makes work for the BOFHing class to do...

'Twas on a Friday morning the luser breathed his last,
With his boss demanding programs, the luser coded fast.
With a crufty piece of C++, his work he did begin,
But it scribbled over the kernel, so we called the admin in.

Oh it all makes work for the BOFHing class to do...

[FX: Heavy LARTing]

On Saturday and Sunday lusers do no work at all,
So 'twas on a Monday morning that the admin came to call...

[End with flourish and exeunt, humming quietly]
