    it has a lower body count that the early BOFH. But I wouldn't be surprised if the writers got some of their ideas from reading Simon Travalgia.

        I'll give it a watch!
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          I like the one about Jen and the Internet box.

            One of my favorites was always "The SERVER is down!!!" (at that time, our server was in house)

            And I'll ask, "can you get to the internet?"
            No - I can't get to ANYTHING!
            OK, so maybe it's not "the server".

            Usually, they managed to unplug the ethernet cable either from the wall (when moving stuff around) or their computer. Always love it when the "client" self-diagnoses.

                  The premise of the show is Jen, who is utterly clueless gets put in charge of the IT Dept.

                    Ah -- I actually had a guy put "over me" when our company was growing -- he was clueless about IT. I went to the owner of the company to point that out, and before I even finished my sentence, he held his hand up like "STOP!"

                    I stopped, and he said, "I promise you, this is not a test of YOU, this is a test of HIM". "He" was a VP who had boasted of having an IT degree, and wanted to take over more responsibility. After two weeks, at a company meeting, the owner called on this VP to explain to everybody what the IT department does, what we're implementing, projections, and all that. The guy looked at ME, and the owner said, "No, Kevin, I'm asking You!"

                    As I recall, that was Kevin's last week at our company. (He was the owner's partner's nephew)
