Heh...boss just got one of my co-workers but good. We've been talking about out-sourcing the dorm network, so they'd be separate from our network, and go through a company that would be better able to manage bandwidth and such. Boss said that upper management had decided that, as an additional revenue for the college and for better service for students, they'd essentially out-source it to us...we'd be given SOME additional equipment and would have to keep track of which students had paid for what bandwidth, etc. etc. Without additional staff. The network admin just about had a heart attack.

Boss even brought in donuts to "soften the blow", which made it seem pretty real. Heh...

Oh, lovely, lovely.

Am just as glad I'm not bothering with the office today. (Nobody's there, one guy's on a business trip and one's at a funeral, so I'm working from home until it's time for school). Guess I escape the worst of it today. Unless someone pulls a prank at school.
