The IT Guru and the Office Chair


The Ghost Writer has been in his office all day doing what he does with computers; last time he was there, the office had a slight crisis when the accountant invested all the money on Lottery tickets before running off to a tropical tax haven. So he thought he might find an empty office with dust and tumble weed blowing about, but everyone was there and they were all fairly chirpy.  He thought it best no to ask about the accountant and the lottery tickets just in case, but every three months or so there is a big meeting where everyone gets together and tells everyone else what they have been doing. The Ghost Writer says he hates these because at some point they will all look at him and then he is expected to tell them all what he has done.




It is very difficult to tell a whole room (hall) full of expectant folk that he has been hiding for three months since the last meeting and that if he could remember a whole three months worth of stuff he would probably be off making his fortune in the IT business rather that pretending that he knows all about IT and hoping for the best. Still he is very honest and always tells everyone he does not have a clue what he is doing, but they all laugh and say “of course you do, your our IT chap”. I think the Ghost Writer has mastered Sarcasm better than I have.

He does however have one very important question for his big meeting (in about 2 weeks) and that is . . . . Why do all the bolts and screws keep falling out of office chairs, an important question as, it happens to all of us (well me)

He has told me not to worry about my loss of Wit in cyberspace as there is a special area where everyone who has lost their Wit can go and practice until it comes back called T-WIT-ter. It appears it is good because no one pays any attention to a single thing you say (tweet, so called because most folk feel they are right tweets after a bit).

  1. I haven't been on my twitter in ages. It didn't help me find my wit, but maybe that's because I didn't have any to begin with :)

  3. In that picture, am I seeing dead cats on the shelves? Who would keep dead cats in the office? If you wanted a dead animal, go all out and get a koala or an aye-aye.

    1. Many an IT man has based a career on that, including the Ghost Writer.

  5. If you come up with ideas for IT, then that would make you an ideaIT, so the neXt time mother says, "IDIOT!!!", just respond questioningly, "ideaIT?!?!?" and act honored that your brilliance has been detected. I would even hook up a solar panel to see if it detects your brilliance, then make the needle on the display or some Geiger Counter type noise display your reading.

    1. It is not a good day for Solar Panels here in the UK today..... Oooooooo and I have just remember the cat is in the car. He likes to sleep in the car when the weather is not nice, but sometimes I forget about him and then he is angry at me for ages so I better check if he has woken up.

      Thanks for reminding me Mr ESB.
