Look, let's get a few things straight. A collection of odds and ends, routers and switches strewn around the spare office does not constitute a test rig (unless you were testing the dust gathering properties of a Cisco router), and as I recall, I was only following orders.Originally posted by MarillionFanI wouldnt say we worked together. Mordac was in the boiler room while I was at the helm with the other officers.
We used to call Mordac the Network Fairy. I once set up a test rig for a project we were working on. The next day I came round to find bits of it missing. Rushing to the basement and stepping over the half eaten McDonalds remains I found Mordac & his colleagues slouched over their desks. While I asked (shouted) at them to which one of them had taken the equipment, each one of them denied it, at which point I had to summise that the Network Fairy must have taken it.
The router on the desk was a giveaway Mordac!
Just remember, the "network fairy" got you out of jail on several occasions. So I borrowed an idle router. And a couple of switches. You had hoovered up the whole companys supply of spare network hardware for a poxy test rig which wasn't even running, so we reposessed a few bits and pieces to do some real work. I'm sure it was important, but it was so long ago I don't recall the details. Oh tulip, it's a fair cop. What's all this boiler room crap though. You were the permie working silly hours for no overtime, for a company going down the swanny big time. Who's the knob in this scenario?
