    We don't have those so I don't know why she would be thinking that. She's... special. This isn't the first time she has come to us with something similar. It was just the first time I actually took the call.

    What confuses me the most here, is why you haven't already posted your favorite clip from The IT Crowd? It's been nearly three hours!

    No youtube at work. I'd have to know the title of the video, google it, and then copy the link.

    I think my favorite one is when Roy pretends to be disabled because he accidentally pulled the alert cord instead of the flush cord.

    I believe that is S2E1, and is also one of my favorites.

    Perhaps.

    Not having a power brick to inject power into a media converter should have been her first clue.

    As everyone knows, fiber carries light, and very little of it, at very low power levels.

    I had a customer call to say they were having problems with wonky SAN connections. They had their colo pull fiber from another cage (a company they bought).

    Nobody bothered to check to see that they had pulled single mode fiber and plugged into multimode SFP's, including the "SAN Engineers" at said company.

    I have no idea what you're talking about. I also don't have a Masters in Supposed To Be Knowing What You're Talking About either though.

    Thank you for a much needed belly laugh, that shit.....cracked me up.

    Not surprised with that either. It sounds like one of those sites that has no staff except security. Didn’t anyone ask what color fiber? Or what color gate on the sfp? Seems simple enough

    Oh, we've had "SAN Engineers" and/or facilities hardware engineers plug 16GB SAN fiber patch cables into 10G fiber Ethernet NICs...
