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..

Despatched via Blackberry. Mock if you will, but it gets my email without a
fuss.

During a discussion today the question was raised, "What do you call a group
of IT professionals"?
Oxford dictionary came up with:
a blush of boys
a drunkship of cobblers
a hastiness of cooks
a stalk of foresters
an observance of hermits
a bevy of ladies
a faith of merchants
a superfluity of nuns
a malapertness (= impertinence) of pedlars
a pity of prisoners
a glozing (= fawning) of taverners
Nothing for IT.
The most popular suggestion was "a packet". :-)
