Network Admin Dreaming

To the tune of: "California Dreamin'" by The Mommas and the Poppas

I was sitting in the network lab on June 6, trying to work on a Linux lab. I became frustrated when the network card kept failing. Someone else confirmed that the network was down. "DHCP's down," I hummed to myself. ...The worst challenge was trying to make it scan without reference to the original lyrics, which, of course, I couldn't look up online, because the network was down...

DHCP's down
And the screens are grey.
I plugged in my box
On the lab's due day
If I could get done
It'd be OK
Network Admin dreaming
On such a crummy day.
Stopped into the lab
To see if I could play
Well the network admin groused
And he said "No way!"
You know the Admin's power-tripping
He knows I'm going to stay
Network Admin dreaming
On such a crummy day.

(instrumental)

DHCP's down
And the screens are grey.
I plugged in my box
On the lab's due day
If I hadn't slacked this
I'd have got an A
Network Admin dreaming
On such a crummy day
Network Admin dreaming
On such a crummy day
On such a crummy day

Lyrics (c) 2002 Joan Laurel Baldridge
