While we are being Sarcastic

Did you notice how i try to bring the title of almost all of my posts in the content. I just noticed it, its like those films where the title is repeated by one of the characters and we know that the movie is over. I am sooo filmy....
Anyway, While we are being Sarcastic (I know!!), let me paste an email I have received from our Director.

Dear Colleagues,

System Administration activities will be undertaken by V till a new Systems Administrator is on the Job.The new administrator is expected to be on the Job by this month end. Till that time V will take care of your needs.Please plan in advance your needs and do not expect miracles and faster turn around’s from him.Send all your requests and V will attend them on priority basis.

We regret for the inconvenience.

Thanks & Regards

MM
Director

Well three things worthy of mentioning, not mentioning the poorly framed sentences

1. Plan in advance on what we will be needing from a system administrator, Really!!!, because i am not sure when my machine or software or network will crash.

2. Expect Miracles!!! now you must be joking... can he do that, i mean perform miracles, like walking on water, splitting the water in the ocean etc etc.

3. "Faster turn around's" does that make any sense, is "around's" even a valid word... oh well he is the Director, what is use of being in such a position if he can't even bend some "rule's"

That was fun, but it was short-lived when it occurred to me that i can lose my job if he finds out about this blog.
