Adelaide really is a horrible place.

Why the hell would anyone want to work in Adelaide anyway? It is, by far, the most boring place in all of Australia. At least Canberra has porn!

However, the powers that be have decided that change is a good thing.

*yesterday afternoon*


GeneralManager: "Ok, the Adelaide office has 2 people left, and it's costing us $xxxx per month. This is stupid, turn it off!"
PonyGirl: "Ok, I'll disable all remote access to the server, then I'll fly over in a few days for physical disconnection."
GeneralManager: "Do it!"


*this morning*


PonyTail: "Ok, Adelaide's offline, I'm going to play golf, bye!"
Me: "Adelaide cut off from the world, got it!"


*ringring*


AdelaideAdminLady: "Help, I can't get e-mail!"
Me: "Er...yea..."
AdelaideAdminLady: "Why not? Is there something wrong with the server?"
Me: "Um...must be! I'll call you back!" (I certainly didn't want to be the one to tell her that her job is now gone. Why can't people communicate before this kind of thing goes down?)


*after this call, I head off to speak to my bosses*


Me: "So, um, do the Adelaide workers know their office is essentially dead and buried?"
GeneralManager: "Nope, we were going to see how long it took them to notice."
Me: "Er...right. Um, I just had a call from AdelaideAdminLady, and she wants to know why she has no email or not"
iOrgasm: "Meh, lie to her, tell her that you're working on it."
Me: "Really??"
GeneralManager: "Yup!"


*after deceiving AdelaideAdminLady, a few hours pass - I called called into the meeting with GeneralManager and iOrgasm*


iOrgasm: "Well, if we give the Adelaide office just their e-mails and net access, but no access to any other state's files, that should be ok, right?"
GeneralManager: "Sounds good! Let's see how long it takes for them to notice!"
Me: "Um....ok.....I'll try and get access to the server-"
GeneralManager + iOrgasm: "Great! Solved! Don't tell Adelaide anything!"
Me: "............."


*can't get access to Adelaide server, PonyGirl has turned off DHCP, DNS, Exchange, remote access, basically everything, just like he was told, so I have to call him*


Me: "PonyGirl! They want Adelaide back online"
PonyGirl: "WHAT THE FUCK YOU'VE GOT TO BE FUCKING JOKING!"

In their defence, it's only Adelaide.
