The Jester
A man looking for work decides he will approach the king. The king interviews, the king muses. At last the king says "You are worthy to work within these walls!" The man is happy.
The man arrives for work on the first day - in uniform and with new shiny low-end laptop in hand (yes, there were laptops in my imaginary kingdom!) The man sits in his shiny new cube and begins what is thought to be the greatest adventure in all the land!
One morning, the man wakes up and has many realizations:
1- The uniform has a funny hat - and is brightly colored. The man realizes he is merely a jester.
2- The jester has many many ideas - but no approval to do any of them. The jester has no authority.
3- The approval process has 5932 parts - each with sub parts. F that.
3- The kingdom runs on outdated platforms. The money neecded to upgrade them is instead used for toys, doggie biscuts, and wallpaper for the kingdom's crapper.

What exactly are you trying to say?
It's not like LINUX has been invented yet....
If you're a jester, then what am I? A stable boy?
At least said crapper doesn't empty out directly underneath your equipment.
Remember the "flood" of '05? (Okay, okay, I know there were several. I mean the "big one".)
Imagine my joy at troubleshooting our most expensive piece of equipment, and lifting a floor tile, only to be greeted by the sight of a racing sea of sewage. I was just in time to witness a turd drift by the tile opening...
Does this job come with rubber gloves? And maybe a breathing filter or gas mask?
