The Gentleman seemed to accept the judgement, and two years to donate them? Seems an odd combination, you're guilty of amassing bad stuff, but two years to get rid of them...

Love those managers
My manager has our back... And back long ago, during a maintenance window, upgrades and patches went so well, I reminded my then manager, also a lovable manager that there was another niggly bug that we wanted to fix, he fired up a utility to fix bug x, and due to a poorly worded dialog box, he proceeded to take the RAID system down, wouldn't come up again, and quickly found out the backups were not up to the task due to the best effort job done with the woefully lacking hardware. In a month we had shiny new Dell PEs. Nobody was shown the door, but I did get some OT out of the exercise.
On this most auspicious of days, we ask: How many sysadmins does it take to change a lightbulb?
Sysadmins: Why not simply verify there's no backdoor in every program you install, and thus avoid any cyber-drama?

Re: Jim and the long game
Gotta say that someone has access to the network when 'BOTH' the BOFH and PFY are mysteriously off-site? Jim has the chops or direction to get through the BOFH and PFY's defenses. Ransomeware... I think I've said too much... OK, how much is Jim's cut? It's obvious that Jim works for\with the BOFH. Jim is infecting the network at behest of the BOFH and PFY.
Jim did plug his USB into all the right computers!

In a previous career
I worked as a sous-chef for a chain of upscale restaurants, my chef went on vacation (I know!! can you believe it?) on a day with many large parties booked, June wedding receptions etc. The Executive Chef shows up out of the blue and begins poking his beak around, and decides that "I" should drop what I'm doing and re-arrange and re-label the produce shelves in the cooler! Needless to say, the GM did a bit of comping that day, as I was in the cooler, and not running the kitchen. I gave notice as soon as my chef returned.

use of different signatures
My signature is different every time these days. My penmanship was never good, and working in IT doesn't give much opportunity to hand write stuff for other people to read... which is good because they probably couldn't read it.
Back to our story, seems Ecuador might be smelling the week old fish that is JA.

Not the Halon!
I would have imagined that they found a way to keep it! Inspector would have been bribed\coerced or the victim of a most timely accident involving Halon? Or some clever switcheroo where the Halon comes back in the side door labeled as something else.

Re: Hilarious!
Great, now I feel old :(
It's all perspective, I started in IT in about 2000, it was a small network, and some souped up desktops served as well, servers... One data disaster a year of so later, and in came new shiny Dell PE series, then the Proliant Gen8s... I guess I missed something?

Re: Simon will beat this
In December, right round the solstice, when there's remodeling scheduled over the holiday, and the skip filled with old carpeting just happens to be just under the staff room window. Gotta sacrifice somebody to some god. I heard they did it in the 1930's?
Just remember you read it here first, I'm watching you Simon!
