Working with IT Geeks was created by ubarose
This morning about 15 pagers go off on the floor simultaneously (i.e. Red Alert). Unfortunately all the Bobs (management) are out.
Overheard conversation:
“Bob's away. Who’s in command?”
“Spock is second in command.”
“All the Bobs are away. We are about 4 or 5 down.”
“So we’re down to Sulu and that yellow shirt Engineer.”
“I’m not Sulu. Are you Sulu?”
“I’m not Sulu. But I think you are that yellow shit Engineer. So it’s on you.”
I LOVE my job.

“That yellow shirt Engineer” is named Lt. Hadley. How's that for some useless information to take up needed space in your brain?

Do they wear the uniforms at work? I found that movie "Trekies" fascinating! It is hard for me to believe that so many people have got sucked into a TV show that deep.
I love the show Star Trek but it is just a show not a lifestyle. If you want to have some fun with a Trekie, especially a hard core trekie, tell them that Vulcan's don't really exist. Watch their face. HA!
However, I have to admit the lifestyle does have its benefits to society. Wearing a Trek uniform is the only 100% effective birth control.

In which sense are they deemed 'bobs': vomiting, performing fellatio, or bend over buddies?
Regardless,they all sound like dorks.

Taking a shot here that she calls the management "Bobs" as a reference to the movie Office Space and the two consultants named Bob. I could be wrong of course.

Bob as in their first name is Robert.
Yep. It is an Office Space reference. Also two of them actually have the first name Robert (but only one rally goes by the name Bob).
And it's the IT department so everyone who isn't a Bob is either a dork, ex-military or both.

So, you have a 60% chance of being reduced to a pillar of salt, pile of ash, or simply atomized in any given week? That sucks...
