back to article BOFH: The PFY's comeuppance

Some things you just don't want to waste half a day doing. Like talking to the company's shrink about whether the PFY should be referred to the authorities or not... "Okay, so my name is Catherine, I'm just gathering some background on what occurred a couple of days ago and would like to ask you some questions about Stephen' …

    Scary stuff, how is the BOFH monitoring the PFY's fantasies? Scarier still, no mention of the team's gender...

    Should of just done the usual BOFH and blackmailed the head tester with something, photo shop and the chief exec in an unexpected position...slipping BOFH, where do i send my CV as blackmail at work is my field (Works christmas party and a mobile with a camera love it!!!)?

    But...

    was it set to stir-fry or stun? All we can be sure is that the Director wouldn't have spotted or understood this important detail until he pulled the trigger.

    There should be some kind of warning on this column - "Please ensure all comestibles are well finished before reading."

    It's the details that make it

    " "The Swedish volleyball team are visiting a jelly factory just as a fire breaks out, and the sprinklers come on and one of the jelly crystal tanks bursts, just as one of the team members makes an unkind remark about one of the other members hair styles," I reply. "But apart from that..."

    "No paranoia, delusions?" she asks, scribbling something down on a separate sheet of paper and writing my name at the top..."

    Pure genius once again. It's high time the BOFH got his own TV or radio show.

    Best by far!

    Brought alot more depth to the PFY, alot of points you can realt to... like the little people part. brilliant for cabling when its on the ground, not so great at replacing a switch at the top of a 42u though.

    Warnings about coffee? Who needs 'em!

    > There should be some kind of warning on this column - "Please ensure all comestibles are well finished before reading."

    There is. It's abbreviated to "BOFH: " in front of the title.

    Where do I get one of those "insulation testers"

    Are they available at the Cash and Carrion section?

    How much?

    Does the switch have a lock for the "stun" position?

    Has it been properly "modified"?

    Every budding BOFH needs one of these!!

    What, no librarians? I was sure there'd be some busty bloodsucking book-keepers, but alas not.
