The Road to Elysium

These are the ten commandments we techies use in our Linpro-offices:

1. Thou shalt not worship other computer systems.
2. Thou shalt not impersonate Liberace or eat watermelon while sitting at the console keyboard.
3. Thou shalt not slap users on the face, nor staple their silly little card decks together.
4. Thou shalt not get physically involved with the computer system, especially if you’re already married.
5. Thou shalt not use magnetic tapes as frisbees, nor use a disk pack as a stool to reach another disk pack.
6. Thou shalt not stare at the blinking lights for more than one eight hour shift.
7. Thou shalt not tell users that you accidentally destroyed their files/backup just to see the look on their little faces.
8. Thou shalt not enjoy cancelling a job.
9. Thou shalt not display firearms in the computer room.
10. Thou shalt not push buttons “just to see what happens”.

Gotta love techies. :)
