What do you call a group of IT Professionals?
1. Tired
2. Network Crashers..... Uh, I mean Network Testers. :)
3. The 'Stay-Later's'. (Because, staying late to eradicate that
malware/virus that has infected the network because you thought it wouldn't
hurt to bring your laptop from home and connect it to the company network, *is
not bother for us*. :) We enjoy doing that. Why? Because it hones our
computer skills. Plus, our significant others really are happy that we have
something to do, after hours and on the weekends, to keep us so busy that
they end up eating at that nice, fancy restaurant, alone -again-, on our
anniversary. We can always get reservations, later, to go again.)
4. FIFMN People (Fix It For Me - Now!)
5. The people who know the importance of NOT CLICKING ON A WINDOW POP-UP.
Especially when that pop-up states that your computer may have a virus(s)
and by clicking on that link below....
6. What?? You actually saw a group of IT Professionals?
7. If you ever 'saw' a group of IT Professionals, it wasn't at work. More
likely it was at some trade show event.
8. And if you ever did see a group of IT Professionals, and they weren't at
some trade show, it was probably some 'network' party where they were
'testing out' the latest role-playing adventure game on someone's local
network.
9. And if you ever did 'see' a group of IT Professionals, you must have
been mistaken. Because, as we all know, most IT Professionals are loners,
anyway. ("Mom! Do I have any clean underwear? Have you done my laundry,
yet? And did you get your SS Check in the mail, yet? Gonna need some money
for that latest XBox game.")
10. And if you ever, really, do see a group of IT Professionals,and they're
all together in one place holding what looks like printed reports and
they're not at a trade show event, that's because they're at a Job Fair.
Just my thoughts..
