I switch it on. The fan runs, the lights blink and it sits there looking balefully at me.

I tried sacrificing a chicken, but it gives me the impression that it hungers for
something richer, like the souls of the damned.

I wonder if it wants to be paired up with the bloody Cisco Integrated Services Router
that it arrived with.

I really, REALLY don't feel up to reading fracking Cisco manuals right now. Maybe
while the college is on summer break. Or maybe I can find someone who speaks
parseltongue to do the job for me.

You forgot that the short-sighted company that just let go of their IT staff then realizes that they DO need to pay for people to maintain those workstations or laptops they issued everyone. That even the extended warranty doesn't cover software issues and that the infrastructure in the building can still fail with users who can't track down a cable that is loose or disconnected, and are often prohibited by company Policy from even attempting to diagnose things themselves.
Then of course they want to hire somebody with a master's in computer science with 2-5 years experience that knows all their specialized programs inside and out and pay them $25,000 a year to maintain things, and complain about a "labor shortage" when they can't find any candidates that are a perfect match, all say they need to learn one or two of their programs, or just graduated and have no "business experience", only experience maintaining computers for friends and family, or only have an associates degree, etc. It's not like they can't learn and be trained on the more highly specialized programs, no they need somebody that can "hit the ground running" with no training time.
