You know what has a *really* strong negative correlation with my idea of 
a fun week?

Ritually dismantling a tape robot. o_O

Tip: When you see the site System Administrator walking towards the 
server room holding 6 different star-drive screwdrivers, you should 
probably be worried. (!)

Oh well, they're buying me a new one... It should be here tomorrow 
morning! o_O


myself considers backups to be "a critical business function".

I wonder how difficult this will be to set up...

"Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers."

Fun thing #1: "Wait, the clip nuts come with the rack, not the drive?? 
OMFG, I wonder where the hell I put *those*..."

Fun thing #2: I just cut my hand open trying to insert the ****ing clip 
nuts into the rack. I have a cut right under my thumb nail, and it 
stings like a bitch. Oh yeah, and I lost the nut on the floor somewhere...

Fun thing #3: The manual doesn't tell you how to operate the device. 
Only what all the parts are called. Yay, me.

Heh, another fun thing: we bent the mounting brackets so they're now 
banana-shaped. o_O

There's a reason I always keep a swiss army knife with me.
