well... you (or at least I HOPE YOU) do NOT e-mail your customer that is paying top dollar for your consulting software development services and say "I can't install any software, the drive is full." and then go away because it is no longer your problem.
And.. if you are the manager of that person, you don't email the person that hasn't been on the project for 6 months (PTHBOTP - that would be ME) and say. "Help, we can't go forward with this project! we got an error message." and then when the PTHBOTP finds you contacts to work on the issue (and give you more space) and the contacts can't help because one was laid off and the other had a death in the family and the other - other one has never heard of the box... You don't email the PTHBOTP again and say "Help Us Please". At which point the PTHBOTP has this sinking feeling and suggests the terribly obvious and say "Why don't you help yourself and delete some files?" and then when you get that helpful advise you don't say "We'll try, if there's nothing else you can do." And then wonder of wonders... it actually.... wait for it... WORKS!
I mean.... why the HELL couldn't they figure out that they might want to delete their own code and temp files BEFORE halting development for a freaking DAY while they are critical path for a critical project??? WHY!?
For those of you that are reading this.. I work in high tech.. I don't like to talk about it. I prefer to be running.. but this had to be let out.
