NOTE: Please keep the combinations safe for work. Thank you.  C:-)

And now, my two favorite words of the day so far:

"Meeting cancelled"

:joy:
Take a baseball bat and trash all the routers, shout out "IT'S A NETWORK PROBLEM NOW, SUCKERS!" and then peel out of the parking lot in your Ferrari.
"The world could perish if people only worked on things that were easy to handle." -- Vladimir Savchenko
Вопросы есть? Вопросов нет! | BCEB: Belkin Certified Expert Baffler | "Plan B is Plan A with an element of panic." -- John Clarke
Accounting is architecture, remember that!
Air gaps are high-latency Internet connections.

"Meeting cancelled"

Since there is no way to beat the above combination...  Read this out loud three times.
"I am sofa king we Todd did!"

Caution: Words are safe but might not sound Safe-For-Work ;)

I used to support Microsoft Exchange and every now and then, I'd see someone complain after a content filter got turned on somewhere and blocked all the MSExchange email list traffic. I lol'd.

Another great combo after working an issue around the clock, spoken by a very grateful manager:

"Take tomorrow off."
Take a baseball bat and trash all the routers, shout out "IT'S A NETWORK PROBLEM NOW, SUCKERS!" and then peel out of the parking lot in your Ferrari.

"It's the vendor's fault"

No no no no no no no

The BEST combinations, not the ones we dread to hear!

Stuff like, "Sure, there's budget for the new gear!" == GOOD

"Nah, we don't need a maintenance window. It's a minor change. Nobody will notice."

From over the cube 5 minutes later, "Hey, is anyone else having problems getting to the internet?"
30 seconds after that ringing phones with the NOC number on caller ID.

I don't know why I got the idea that it had to be combinations of two words, maybe it was that first post with your favorite two words for that day.
