Nope. just one of my many fun tasks, as defined in the job description.

There is the part about extra charges for resource hogs.

Well mercy me. I doubt that many in the computer biz could argue with 
that. It seems to be an assumed responsibility. 

 If you have to spell
: out every little situation in a contract and not depend on some shared

No problem for me, but a poster that I keep over my desk says it all:
Lack of Planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an 
emergency on mine.

Uh-huh.

Glad to see your sense of humor returning.
