Just about sums it up ...

... I just watched a new (to me anyway) TV sitcom called "The IT crowd". It is based around a company that operates out of a 34 story tower office block (presumably in London). On the 34th floor it is all a bit Ally McBeal. In the basement there exists the 2 man IT department - I don't know their real names but they are essentially "Slob Nerd" and "Totally Anal Nerd" amidst a morass of obsolete computers - most of which have never been used in a corporate environment (as far as I am aware). They occasionally answer the phone and Slob shouts "Are you sure you have switched it on?" or "Have you tried switching if off and on again" whereas Totally prefers to baffle his customers (sic) with mind blowing, white noise jargon. They get a new manager, a woman (which is fine by me - but to Slob and Totally is not) who knows nothing about computers at all (which is even less acceptable to Slob and Totally). OK, so it is not quite an accurate parody of my current work environment - but it does remind me of the earlier stages of my career in some ways.

Except that in those days we were the heroes and now we're in the shitty basement of a 34 floor office block with managers who know nothing about computers.
