    The only thing I've gotten away with is convincing my boss that our virtual drives needed to be replaced on the UPS and that I needed a new server. Truth was, our old one was ok...needed some work, but the new server I got. . .wow, was she pretty.

    I felt guilty, until the network here grew over 300%. . .now the new server is actually needed!

    Phew..... That's what I hoped you would say..... 'cos if you really had virtual drives in the UPS I need to get some new UPS's 'cos mine must be waaaaay outta date......

    Nice to see someone else who uses the technical ineptitude of their superiors for the greater good.....

    what I have gotten away with. I would really like to keep it secret so far. And I think posting it on a public board doesn't give me security for that matter.

    store-wise, the biggest thing I've "gotten away with" would be my 32X CD-RW drive...was in staples w/ my mother because we heard about a good sale on the drive, was only going to cost us $25 after mail-in rebate. We got up to the checkout w/ that and a few other things, one of which rang up at the wrong price, causing the cashier to become a bitch, which in turn caused us not to call her on her mistake of not ringing up the CD-RW drive (she asked us if we wanted a PRP on it, then just put it in the bag)

    Other than that, I can get away with most anything in my school because most of the teachers like me, and I'm one of the few ppl that knows what I'm doing w/ computers, so have to help them out...they don't want to lose one of their main sources of tech support
    I want you to know that our friendship means a lot to me. You cry...I cry. You laugh...I laugh. You jump out of a window...I look down...then I laugh again.
