I thought it was an intentional joke but he didn’t seem to think it was funny, even when I explained the “404: Office Not Found”.

I still think it’s objectively funny.

    Holy shit finally. I’m a professor and my office is Room 404 of a building that’s a completely impossible maze. Students routinely show up 15 minutes late unable to locate my office, and I have tried so desperately to get literally anyone to laugh at my “Error 404 Room Not Found” jokes with no success.

    IT has probably heard that joke enough times that they wish the next person that tells it steps on lego blocks barefoot in the dark.

      I work in IT. This is the kind of stupid joke we live for. I’m pretty darn jaded but this is absolutely something I would lean into. I’m disappointed in the IT manager who is the subject of this post.

          Maybe I’m just a stupid asshole lol.

          I’ve been in IT for almost 20 years. There probably was a time in the middle of that run where I’d have felt like you do. There comes a time where things go full circle and you get so jaded that you decide to accept or even embrace the stupidity. I have up laugh at objectively dumb shit or I go insane. Helps me save my “angry energy” for things that really need it.

      He didn’t get it. Blank stare. “Oh I was looking for you at 404. Thought that was funny.” “My office isn’t there.” “Yeh, but it’s 404. And you weren’t found.” “My office is here.” “Okay. Well anyway…”

      I have a kid and a dog. A chewed dog toy of the “incredibly hard for aggressive chewers” is like stepping on Lego sharpened by Japanese swordsmiths who then used it to make new teeth for a piranha that’s biting your foot.
