The Preventer of Information Services

by John Calvin | December 15th, 2007

This is what Mom and Dad call me some­times: either that or “IT: the Impairment of Technology Department”. If some­thing goes wrong, they look for me–probably I have been mess­ing up some set­tings some­place (fine-tuning, accord­ing to me). They men­tion a cer­tain time I updated OUR net­work and then headed off for an over­seas trip (no kid­ding). I seem to remem­ber try­ing to talk them through a major net­work glitch over a trans-pacific Skype connection…Remind me not to make changes right before I leave for some­where! I saw this Dilbert comic strip yes­ter­day and it brought it all back.


Note: Dilbert® is copy­righted, but I fig­ured this fair use–I pulled it off of the daily page at http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/. Many thanks to Dilbert.com for mak­ing it avail­able online, and as always my use of this strip does not imply their or the author or publisher’s endorse­ment or per­mis­sion in any way.
