Re: Ethernet

He was a good Global IT Director.

I can remember a panic conference call a few years later when a major system was effectively down due to performance issues. I was sorting the issue with a techie from the supplier, but the Global IT Director kept wittering on about other things and I snapped at him and told him to either shut up or fuck off.

He did shut up and I got things sorted with the techie and back up soon after. I was a bit worried in case I had overstepped the mark when I got no phone calls or emails from him for a few days. But then I got an email from him bunging me another, albeit modest, pay rise.
