Patching gone horribly funny

Dear Mr. Stanfill,

I am writing this email to you to inquire about the opportunity you have at Microsoft PSS SBS Team in Balgladesh. I understand that the role of SBS Escalation Engineer requires little functional knowledge of English and that Indian labor laws allow for “time off” concept that I am not very familiar with.

Please forward further details on this role. I am an Exchange MVP and an MCSE but can run at a wall hard enough to forget most of what I know in order to meet the job description. As you can tell by the bags under my eyes I am stupid enough, ready for the challenge and have no fear of patching.

My resume is attached in the OpenDocument format. Please contact me at your earliest convenience.

Nice bags dude

are they ‘before’ and ‘after’ shots?

Thats really messed up man, get some sleep.

You know what to do – send me names, dates, and SRX number and I’ll figure out what happened so we can prevent it in the future.

Necessary fact point – we don’t have a dedicated SBS team in Bangalore or Bangladesh.

Mark,

Nothing went wrong, I was just wondering if you had an opening in Bangalore – I want to work for an employer that has this new “time off” concept between shifts.

Susanne,

They are both “after” thanks for the crack :)

You look like crap, Vlad.

Vlad,

Mark gets nervous every time one of the Indians uninstalls IIS to fix an Exchange issue, you can usually hear Damian cussing in Spanish in the background every time it happens.

Do you know how to uninstall IIS? If so you are hired!

One of the benefits of working over there is you get to escalate your calls to the states when you want to go home or go to lunch.

it’s a stereogram, folks.

look at both of those pictures of vlad, then slooowly let you eyes cross until a 3rd pic of v shows up in the middle.

the reward is you get to see that pair of garbage sacks hanging under his eyelids in a full simulated 3-D effect.

warning: don’t eat right before trying to see it, or you’ll end up with a lapful of chunks.

Ah, the answer to if Vlad ever sleeps or not :) That is what I figured you’d look like, this is why there are only pictures of you on vacation I suppose.

You should fry your hair and call yourself “the hardest working geek in america”
