BOFH: Workplace accidents = 0

Chris

LOL what a place to work 

Heart

Dammm I need to find a job as assistant to the BofH alongside with the PFY these guys have it well...

They don't pay tax and anyone who wants to dob them in "mysteriously" leaves without a trace,,,,

Well Done Simon you made up for the not so brilliant episode last week!

Cheers mate!

New BOFH? 

Hey! What happened to Simon?

uncle sjohie

Aaaah 

Paris Hilton

Allways nice to have the quiet support of higher management.... :-)

Duncan Robertson

The Bastard's back - but not in his usual form... 

Jobs Horns

Quality! It almost suggests that users learn... Ha! That'll be the day!

Jason Rivers

a soft spot... 

Thumb Up

so it would appear the CEO *DOES* Have a soft sport for Simon and his PFY afterall!

this one made my laugh to the extent of some of my sandwich ending up on my monitor. Keep it up Simon!

Dave Burns

Another Quality Episode! 

Well made up for the one last week! Great to see the CEO getting his hands dirty!

Michael Born

Ahhh...good to see that Simon... 

Pirate

Still has his Homicidal tendencies, and they can't be removed by the ravages of time!!

It really is good to see the BOFH at the helm of another 'inexplicable' accident (even if he didn't cause it), but at least we know that, if it came to the crunch, HIS name would be where the CEO is now (could also mean some form of blackmail for increase the "operating budget", methinks!)

I would have started the monitors running the moment the boss had walked out, keeping a "technical" eye on things, but can't win 'em all, eh?

Great weekend to all the people in BOFH land

Your friendly neighborhood Printer Engineer From Hell!

Rosuav

Still, 10 days... 

I'm just glad it didn't go 10 more days, because the Boss would have become suspicious if the board said 100 already...

Dan Collett

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome..... 

Thumb Up

As always........Although one cant help but miss the satisfaction that comes from high voltage Kzzzzeeerrrrrttt!

Oh the good ol' days!

only one thing to say... 

Thumb Up

BoFH, we salute you!

I can't get by without my weekly fix, and this one was absolutely genius. I may have to go back and read the archives for the 20th time :D

JP Strauss

The CEO is the PFY's uncle... 

Alert

if I recall way back when he was first appointed.

Jason Works

Don't make me do it .... Damn you all to HELL 

Black Helicopters

Don't make me do it....Damn you all to HELL. Now i am gonna have to go back and re-read all of the past BOFH

Now i have a full day ahead of me .....

Didn't they leave the company the PFY's uncle was the CEO at? I thought Simon got fired and the PFY followed him by testing gravity with his uncle's laptop.

Jeff Wojciechowski

Its just not FRIDAY without BOFH! 

Boffin

Thanks again for making my Friday complete! Makes up for the dodgy quiz last week....well almost!

Peter

Oh god... 

Funny... but geez... if such a company really existed, a war zone would probably be safer to work in.

Don Marquis

True to form 

Ha! A clear example of horizontal and vertical integration of corporate responsibilities. Not all managerium is dense, apparently.... The CEO must be made from a hitherto unknown isotope.

Graham

@Peter

...but not in the IT department... unless you were the boss, a consultant, an external technician (unless equally evil), a salesman (unless in the pub) or anyone except the heroes.

Hmm, see your point!

Andy

:-D

Does make sense, even the dumbest (l)user knows the jam they`d get into if the IRS finds out about their moonlighting and other shady dealings.

Chris Fleming

Ahhh!!! 

Pirate

Beware of the...

That is the sign on Simons farm gate.

Matt Thornton

Ouch 

Good episode... minus the Terry Waite bit!!

Matthew Stoltenberg

Not nephew 

They quit that place around the time of the y2k bug if I recall..

Roger de Laborde

@JP Strauss 

Nope, Different company. They stopped working for the company that the PFY's uncle was CEO of after the BOFH made sure it was y2k comPLAINT ready

Steve

Class, sheer class 

Coat

When surrounded by idiots and time is dragging by like a dog after a vindaloo on the carpet of life, BOFH never fails to put things into perspective.

And his metaphors are much better than mine....

Keep it up - I wish I could....

I'll get my coat....

'days since last workplace accident' 

Alert

really needs to be updated with

"Todays workplace accident rate".

Just keep the same font style and colour and only those who actually bother to read the signs will note the slight change in wording. Would produce some nice non-zero numbers.

I really do wonder what the running rates are. Lost work-days, limbs, personnel and trespassers. (ie salesmen, auditors, engineers and other unwelcome personages)

Heh - Might just have the bored but affable graphic artists here bash one up between time wasting alterations to already approved paste-ups .... ^_^

Phillip Rhodes

Wait a bloody minute 

Unhappy

Are you lot saying that this isn't how businesses in the UK really operate?!?

Damn, time to put this visa application through the shredder I suppose... I was all set to move just to see this wonderful working environment!
