IT Managers on Survivor: Page 4 of 12

This edition: Why your IT Manager will never meet Richard Hatch; Animatronic Talking Fish.
March 26, 2004

  • joe baron -- who wants to see anyone in I.T. in the nude? can you see it black hornrimmed glasses with a taped nosepiece and nothing else!

  • Wayne Maurer --
    • I survived a blue screen of death - after that surviving on a tropical island seems like child's play.
    • I deal with enough computer bugs all day no sense sleeping with them.
    • "What's Survivor?"
    • We can handle irate users all day long, seems like we could deal with a few bozos on an island.
    • We're overqualified ! ! !
    • We deal with more problems in a single hour then these guys see in the entire series.
    • They only play it - we live it!

  • joe baron -- when they ask you to climb a tree and pick apples, you say apple's don't grow on tree's.

  • Bobbi Foster -- Actually someone from IT already has been on Survivor. Ted Rogers, Jr. (Survivor Thailand) is software development manager. I remember because his team was losing all the challenges until they were given the Tower of Hanoi. Since most programmers write an algorithm for it at some point, I thought they were stacking it in his team's favor. They won, naturally.

  • Donn Swedenburg -- We're ineligible because of too much practice - we have to survive every day for a living.
