networking

Not quite freaky but we had a good laugh:

Your small shop has a client that works closely with a local government research institute, to the point of having an office suite on their campus which has its own network with all that that entails.

It is Thursday morning, and your are informed by the research institute that they have decided to give you responsibility of a bay that is supposedly shared between both teams, but really they send techs and you ask for changes and they never use it, so it just simplifies things for everyone for you to be responsible of that one specific bay. You decide to send a tech the next day to take a look at it, inventory what goes where and such.

It is the next day, so a Friday, and the tech goes out. As usual, he is stopped multiple times by people on the way to the bay, and is delayed to the point that he arrives at the bay at about 5:10 PM. No matter, he'll do a bit of overtime and if it's too much he'll come back next week. The tech opens the door and finds this:

He sends the picture to us and we all have a good laugh. He spends bout half of the next week untangling and inventorying this mess.
