Whitewash the Server Room

Another cool one from this morning.

The tech asked for help with inventory so I sent one of my people, a normally dependable person with him.
They keep coming back looking for more asset tags.
Keep coming back.
Needing more.
For a small room.
I try to ignore it but I can't.

Employee - "Can I have some more tags."
Me - "No gawd dammit. You have over 350. How could you use that many?"
Employee shrugs. "Lots of stuff."
Me - "Fuck that."

I go into the room. The tech is busy with an emergency and left this kid with instructions to asset stuff.
Oh he has, he has begun by sticking asset tags on the computers, and their video cards, the fucking power supplies, vga cables, and the empty boxes the hard drives were in, the racks, the memory boxes, the hard rives and their wires.
Basically...everything.
Everything. Little white barcode tags are dotting half the room like someone flicked paint on everything.
The best part, the kid barcoded the barcode reader (he didn't know thats what it was).
The tech comes in and sees what has happened.
Tech - "What the fuck?"
Me - "Did you tell him to asset everything?"
Tech - "..."
Me - "That's what I thought."

So now the kid is in there tearing off asset tags from everything. Even the god damn video card he got ahold of.
And I ask the tech why he had to leave.
Tech - "Some random employee thought the AC was too loud for their meeting and when they could not find the switch they saw the AC for the server room and thought it fed the others and unplugged the secondary unit."

Good times.
