Botches and Bodges

Some stories of things going wrong, and the bodges that should never be talked about.

Most of this is going to cover my time as an IT Technician in a school..

A Mixture of working as a All around tech in one of the best schools in the county (T1 on paper but I Basically did everything from changing toner to VLans)

Then back to being a T1 Tech, this time in on of the biggest MATs in the country.
If you see some really really odd spelling like “wea pon ized” its to try to be nice to filters.

This page will contain short 1/2 Liners/Tidbits that aren’t big enough for there own page, and the contents of the other stories.

Many a time I have Used a Server / Desktop as a stool or a step, have yet to break anything important.

“No Bloody Clue”, is better response to 95% of users than lying.

Dear Developers, for the love of all that’s holy, give me a proper error message.
