[plug] the IT guy (was: power loss)

[Jon Miller]

It's easier to blame the IT guy, in most folks eyes you are overpaid for your service therefore you should know what they are thinking and therefore know what they want before they ask for it.  Any relating to the IT operations is your fault even if they are the ones to blame.  Been that way since the beginning of time.

...or when someone in one department is modifying files on the file server
and somehow they accidentally moved a file which is owned by someone in
another department, and that departent comes screaming down our throat
demanding to know what we've done with their file...
/me rolls eyes.
