Poem for my Server Administrators

January 15, 2009 by Kurt Turner

We network administrators are tired of the finger pointing and problem dumping. So for that I bring you this poem..

Your servers are like Adware
Agitating me and providing no satisfaction
And when an application goes down
I’ll know you’ll come a askin

“What is wrong with the network?”
“What have you done?”
“I didn’t change anything ”
“And now my services won’t run””

“Users can’t connect”
“They usually get an error”
“It must be the network”
“It is all very apparent”

You’ll walk away briskly
To fire off a CC filled email
Telling everyone of the network issue
And the problem you found

“Dear Boss, VP and CEO, the network is down. It is the root cause of this issue and the reason the applications are down”

Now I must jump to attention the blame is on me
I must come to the rescue like some star on TV
Packet captures, wire sniffs, interface checking abroad
Unfortunatly the network looks sound and everything is in accord

Several hours roll by
as my projects fall further behind
And next thing you know everything is working
Everything is fine

Here you come with that look on your face
Notebook in hand walking at a moderate pace
“What was wrong what do you fix”
I shake my head and say nothing as you hang me on your proverbial crucifix

So for all you server admins who can’t troubleshoot worth a crap
Get your stuff straight and stay off my back
If you need help ask for it don’t drop your load on me
Get your self a syslog box and then we will see
