Every now and then, justice

This pilot fish is hired to be the solo IT support person for this department -- and things don't exactly go swimmingly with the new boss.

"The evil, vile department manager thought he was a technical genius," fish says. "When his old laptop died, he demanded a new one but refused the corporate basic software load and configuration.

"He demanded extra software and configured it himself. He demanded that I load unlicensed software, which I declined. I was rewarded with a written reprimand."

Fish's stand doesn't slow down the department boss, who continues at breakneck speed to add software of every kind -- and demand that fish try to get it working.

Fortunately for fish, there's soon an opening in another department. One transfer later, fish is no longer in a position to help out the genius.

But fish does hear, shortly after leaving the department, that he was forced to call the help desk because his laptop had imploded from all the self-configured software.

Reports fish, "He didn't bother to tell the technician that his system was self-configured, so it was troubleshot as if it had the basic corporate configuration.

"Result: Genius' laptop was totally destroyed. Nothing was saved. Nothing."
