  • Told a janitor to not unplug the equipment rack in a closet to plug in their vacuum cleaner. Why they thought that plugging in their vacuum there, rather than just using the outlet not 6 feet away outside the closet is beyond me.

    Further, why that closet wasn’t locked in the first place. But this was almost 30 years ago and it was another time in IT.

    I spoke with the janitor and she started plugging in her vacuum in the adjacent outlet. Then I went to the director of IT and got the capitol cost approved to secure all of the networking closets in the building, which there were 6, one for each floor. Only the one floor was an issue as that closet also house a sink and drain for the janitors to use. There wasn’t another place we could move the networking equipment to without laying out a lot of money.


  • Solid recipes that tend toward being simple and easy to make, but still taste great. I have several of his books in my cookbook collection. With that said, I don’t reach for them nearly as much as some others. For reference cooking is a full on hobby for me. I have multiple bookshelves full of cookbooks.

    His “Kinda Spaghetti Bolognese” is a family favorite and I make it several times a year.

    As to what I think of Jamie himself? Honestly, I don’t know anything about him, other than he’s British. Entertainment celebrities is not a subject that holds any interest for me.

    In the pantheon of cooks, whose recipes I’ve made:

    He’s a LOT better than Rachael Ray (but who isn’t?).

    But not quite as good as a Julia Child, Ina Garten, Charlie Trotter (RIP), or Jonathan Best.
