Mackerel works, too

justalurkrSo, I got fuck-all done yesterday other than:
1. Discovering that canned mackerel is a equally fine instrument of kitty annoyance and tastes pretty fine when mixed with relish and mayonnaise and consumed on crackers;
2. Inventing the Wireless Troubleshooting Drinking Game at work, with such fine exemplars as:
Sip if the address provided for a coverage issue doesn't map correctly.
Chug if the sites serving the calls are more than five miles away from the address provided.
Finish the bottle if the sites serving the calls are in another State.
Sip if the feature reported as not working isn't provisioned in the switch.
Chug if the feature reported as not working doesn't actually exist.
Finish the bottle if powering on the phone makes the feature "work."
I went on, but they become more esoteric to the wireless industry and I can't remember all of them. I do remember providing alternate instructions for non-drinkers (this is the Bible Belt, after all:) for sip, chug or finish the bottle substitute one piece of candy, two pieces of candy or empty the bag. Every single thing in the game is scenario I've encountered some time in the last 22 years of working for what has become All Your Phones Are Belong to Us.
