The life of Jim
I present the paraphrased IM conversation I had with Mark this morning:
Me: Guess who I ran into in the hall last night.
Mark: Dutchess.
Me: How did you guess?
Mark: The possibility crossed my mind last night but I played the odds...I remembered as we were pulling in the driveway from the airport..I had to feed them before I left....but then we rushed out to the airport and I couldn't remember putting her back in the cage and the box was empty when I checked last night.
Me: So she was in a cardboard box all that time? Five days with a snake loose in the house.
Mark: Yep. I was gonna call and warn you when I realized the possibility but I somewhat figured the fear of knowing she was out would cause you more anguish than finding her.
Me: Hmmm.
Mark: Did you scream like a girl or was it just a hmmm...there is a snake in the hall moment?
Me: More of a snake in the hall moment, actually, followed by some cursing.

The library is filled with such rampant incompetence that I can't fully describe it. The whole place should be demolished
and rebuilt from scratch, with new people, new policies, and new equipment. How in the hell does the computer support department RUN OUT OF NETWORK CABLES? When I have an arbitrarily set (from on high) deadline of tomorrow to deploy 16 computers? In a shit-tastic location that was never meant to have electrical devices, much less computers with network access? RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Oh yeah, we don't have enough power strips either. FUCK!

Not real, but still funny:
Many colleges and business's tend to strip the last name down to 6
characters and add the first and last initial to either the beginning or end
to make up an e-mail address..

For example, Mary L. Ferguson = mlfergus or
fergusml. They are just now beginning to realize
the problems that may happen when you have a
large and diverse pool of people to choose from.

Add to that a large database of company/college
Acronyms and you have some very funny addresses.
Probably not funny to the individual involved, however:
