Regional Terrorist-F*cking Militia has a nice ring to it.
As the tech guy at the place I work - everything from desktop idiot-shooting (that's "trouble shooting") to server/network equipment management, planning and purchasing, it's often difficult to get any "work" done without being interrupted by a user. Yes, it steams my broccoli. Yes, I will sometimes walk around muttering like a damaged kitchen food disposal. But doing all that unpleasant stuff for irritating users is my goddamn job.
Which doesn't mean I don't curse their existence, particularly when they're hostile - or that I'll take much of that nonsense. But the least a techie can do is smile while they're altering the user's presentations for them (without their knowledge), or remotely restarting their workstations randomly throughout the day to relieve tension. (I kid, I kid.)
