Lan Is Down

OUR UNSTABLE LAN

An original ditty by Patrick Kingsley (To the tune of "Winter Wonderland")

Phone bells ring
Are you listening?
In IT
Neck hair's bristling
A server just died
We'll be working through the night
Trying to keep up our unstable LAN
Print server spazzed
It's horrific
A million pages
of hieroglyphics
A proposal's due at 8
Looks like we'll be working late
Trying to keep up our unstable LAN User downloads pornos on
the internet Gets a virus, brings our servers down
We'll ask if he's the culprit, he'll say, "No, man! So you guys must have broke it; fix it now!"
Error logs
Looking dire
Our mail server
Just caught fire
Got paged at 1 a.m.
Time to head back in again
Trying to keep up our unstable LAN
User emails 10-meg file attachments
Our network quickly slows down to a crawl
Four thousand users working for our company
And she sent "dancing babies" to them all
When it snows
We're all chilling
All IT's
Gone snowmobiling
The backbone's gone away
LET THEM USE PAPER AND PEN TODAY!
"To Hell," we say, "with our unstable LAN!"
"To Hell," we say, "with our unstable LAN!"

LOLOLOL! Actually, I'm crying, because I'm posting this from the world's worst LAN - I swear blind retarded monkeys put this thing together with nothing more than string, duct tape, the guts from an old Colecovision video game console, and an old shoe. As I speak, I can hear developers intoning fervent prayers to the capricious spirits of the LAN to allow us to at least save our work before crashing.
