Does it make me a bad person that ive done all of those but 1.
Early in my career, I liked to use the "Go with a Reason" - Goto MS Launch event for the free software.
At these launches (we are talking in the early 90's, prior to internet saturation) I got to know the MS rep pretty well, and they wouldnt give software to everyone, rather, they would hold a raffle at the end for a full-on copy of the software they were demoing. He told me that rather than requisition corp for a full package, it was much easier to just go and buy one and expense it.
SO.....
Not only would I go to the Launch event, but when I won, on the ride back to the office, I would stop at a software store (Radio Shack or the like) and return the software I had just won. My biggest haul was MS C++ at $630!
You find a software package has been purchased with out your knowledge and you are told you have to have a Server purchased and running for when the vendor arrives.
Vendor arrives and schedules installation two weeks from Thursday

Jake Tyson (1985), you have no business posting comments on a tech parody article if you can't embrace your inner nerd.

What is a troll to a bunch of nerds? A doormat. Stay under your bridge where I left you.

Wow. Out of touch much? Oh, you must be a salesman. That's okay one day you'll thank us for giving you something to sell.
Ps.
Congrats on having a wife with a vagina. It would be wired if she didn't.

Umm digg.com wouldn't exist without it's IT staff, nor would the interwebs. In fact I'm surprised you figured out how to use the keyboard and a mouse.

I hit about 95% of those! Wow, I'm good!
I would add the following;
"Release the Jargon" - Your boss used the term 'bandwidth' 10 times in one meeting to mean something completely non technical.
"Is it Monday already?!" - Work through the entire weekend.
"We don't need no stinking SAN!" - Have a 3 month argument with your boss on why you need redundant storage.
"Save your ass." - Drop a production database and blame it on a hardware failure.
"Look Ma', no backup!" - Recover a project by re-writing it all over again.
"A+++" - Your annual, self evaluation reads 'Above Expectations' for all categories - Your manager disagrees.
"Exit like a boss." - Quit your job, then contract for the same employer at twice the pay!
