Mr. Obvious Says.......

When you see your Network Administrator walking in with his bag of lunch, obviously ready to go back into his dungeon and eat, don't stop him and ask him a hundred questions about why your computer is acting strange.

Jeezus....sometimes I wish I had a little tunnel system to walk around in.

in situations like these, pretending to have Tourette's can come in pretty handy.

And after you have followed the Admin from the door to where she/he sits, and when the Admin sits down with their bag of lunch (in his/her 3-walled padded cell 4 cubes away from a window)...and has a mouthful of food and headphones on (escaping to the beautiful sounds of The Pixies)...It IS bothering us too much to do a little favor.

"I hate to bother you....'cuz it looks like you are trying to eat....but, would you mind helping me with fill_in_the_stupid_request_here"

You would think a Network Administrator would have his own personal onterage of ninja bodyguards.

[GWG]

He does! They are all his cyber ninja bodyguards. Protector from all cyber boobs who don't have a clue. What's needed is a seat to have these people sit down in that happens to be wired, activated by a switch controlled by the Network Administrator. This way, he can provide anyone bothering him with a graphic demonstration of just what a pain in the ass they are for interrupting his personal time.

Sort of like Pavlov's dog type of thing. Come visit the Network Administrator - Get shocked! How unfortunate for the slower learners.

One guy where I used to work made a "Do not disturb, eating Lunch" sign that he would hang across his back when trying to eat.

I usually just leave for lunch. Adult Recess and all.
