That's an excellent question, and I'm glad you asked. Hell is your place of work on a Sunday when no one else is there so you can upgrade your Unix operating system. In this place called hell, there are strange and wonderful surprises.The first surprise shows itself in the form of a changed lock at the front gate, which causes your spry 52-year-old ass to have to scale an 8' tall fence.
The second surprise is that the security system in hell has been altered to automatically re-arm nights and on Sundays. That means every time I leave the computer room and head off to my office or the restroom, alarms start blaring and lights start flashing. This surprise has proven to be remarkably efficient. I get a lot of work done when I have to keep stomping back to the alarm keypad to shut off the alarms again and again and again.
The third and final surpise is just how slow the upgrade process is. If I didn't know better, I'd swear I was working on an old 20mhz AT class computer. Yes, that part of hell is just great, because it means I will only get 80% of the work done today, and will have to do this again next Sunday! Hooray!
So, those of you who think hell is a burning inferno have just not been told the truth. A burning inferno is a reason to pull out the popcorn and hot dogs. Some of you may think hell is a place where you just got 10 feet of snow dropped on you. Wrong again, that is just an excuse to stay indoors and listen to music.
That concludes today's little rant. BTW, there is no hell souvenir shop here, so I won't be able to get any of you t-shirts or coffee cups.
