Any mention of a server room reminds me of the fable of the guy, we'll call him Mike, who unplugged the Internet.
I can't remember where I read it, I think it was greentext on Reddit years ago.
So Mike is an intern, and due to some weird circumstances he becomes the only network admin in the building. Well, one day he doesn't esnt feel like working, so on his way in, he stops by the server room and unplugs the internet.
He then goes to his desk like a normal day. Then he starts getting phone calls. Everybody is freaking out because there is no Internet. So he begrudgingly descends into the server room and starts playing video games on his phone.
Close to the end of the day, he plugs the Internet back in and ascends a hero to the employees because they think he's been working hard all day to give them internet.

Are you thinking of this? Great saga: https://imgur.io/gallery/dTv6b

I know this is just a joke but why would he be calling HR instead of security?
-
He isn't very bright
-
They're a programmer, do you expect them to know anything about security? Those are the people that "SELECT %s FROM foo"
-
He's new around here
-
-
Until very recently, I wasn't sure my company had security.

I now consider my shaggy beard and unkempt long hair part of my resume.

The interviewer can tell by smell, look, and neck beard alone the senior Linux architect.
-
I definitely don't smell when going to interviews. But yeah, the rest is true.

"I know that guy! He is me."

Oh, look. Richmond's still alive.

This is where another one of your pied piper boxes would go
-
That show was uncannily accurate
-
No joke, I literally know a sysadmin who has a similarly "generic" English name, talks with the same sort of cadence, and even looks similar. I actually clipped that quote from the episode and set it as my notification when he texts me lol.

What is the senior architect doing in the server room, that's the purview of the networking grunts
-
Debugging.
-
Communing with his lesser minions.
-
-
I feel attacked.
-
Oh, I know that guy... He's me
-
A building I used to work in got locks put on the bathroom doors because one of our senior devs would go out for a walk in ragged gym clothes and wash up in the bathroom when he got back, and someone from another company saw him in there and mistook him for a homeless person.

Delivery is too obvious. It just doesn't click.
-
Concordantly.

Senior architect. Is that high? With title inflation the real deal is the super ultra mega architect.
