Damn! Our secret's out!
Oh, well. At least now you know why we all go in at once.
LAN PARTY!!! - verkon, on 06/24/2008, -1/+162So the women's bathroom is in fact nicer.

- waldo686, on 06/25/2008, -6/+96I'm sure that they'll catch alot of crap from the IT guys about this
- ChuckIT, on 06/25/2008, -4/+86it's my ***** me?
- ctrlfreak13, on 06/25/2008, -0/+49My school districts main server room was actual in a bathroom too, they removed three urinals to make way for server racks. They're in the middle of a technology overhaul (thank god) and those servers are going away and being replaced by a new datacenter in a different location. It was quite interesting though when working for them when i asked where the bathroom was and I was pointed to a room full of servers and one stall.
- TylerM, on 06/25/2008, -14/+57They always said that women had nicer bathrooms. Little did I know that meant a full server room was contained within.

I always knew womens restrooms were nicer than what we guys got. Now I see they have server rooms in there too?!?!
... woo for originality! - pryoee4, on 06/25/2008, -4/+35Brings a whole new meaning to the ol' core dump
- down4six, on 06/25/2008, -5/+36Our IT guy had threw a tantrum the other day because they are moving him into the new office building, with his office next to the bathroom. I thought it was only fitting with the ***** service he provides.
- pryoee4, on 06/25/2008, -2/+29Just saw about 10 of the same comment below. I am an unoriginal idiot.
- VgRasta, on 06/25/2008, -0/+26I have a hard time pronouncing words with asterisks.
- culbeda, on 06/25/2008, -0/+24Bah... I have a client that had their bathroom double as their server room for over 2 years. I mean the server was close enough to kick while you were on the toilet. Their closet was getting too hot and the bathroom was the coolest room in the place. The biggest problem with that setup, no joke, was: dust from the toilet paper. You think your average dust bunnies are bad. This thing had to be vacuumed almost monthly. They eventually went to an ASP model. Unfortunately their phone system remains in the can to this day.
- mnemy, on 06/25/2008, -7/+28What a ***** situation
- yaddayaddayoda, on 06/25/2008, -2/+22It just makes placing that spy camera easier on everyone.
- canUdi9it, on 06/25/2008, -1/+18The server's backed up. Give me ten minutes to purge the cache and flush the buffers.
- serif69, on 06/25/2008, -2/+19I sail you not.
- scott88008, on 06/25/2008, -0/+16Too bad you didn't almost post this.
- levelred, on 06/25/2008, -1/+16it's convenient because most sys admins spend their time on the toilet anyways and/or spying on chicks... It's called efficiency.
- skyroket, on 06/25/2008, -1/+15Hopefully they didn't set any servers on the floor when they have such nice racks.
- graemee, on 06/25/2008, -2/+16I can hope he used the stall and not pissed on the servers.
- megamod, on 06/25/2008, -2/+16memory dump? or just a physical dump?
- DrDigg, on 06/25/2008, -0/+14http://www.instantrimshot.com/
- freezerburn666, on 06/25/2008, -1/+15yeah they have a handicapped women fetish
- insertAliasHere, on 06/25/2008, -0/+13Just RTFA, they tell you why.
- ibanez81, on 06/25/2008, -2/+14At least now there's one place to go when your system is backed up :P
- ThreeDee912, on 06/25/2008, -1/+13How is that ironic?
- JohnTyra, on 06/25/2008, -0/+11That is just an HR situation waiting to happen...
Manager: "Where were you the past 4 hours?"
Tech: "Uh...the server room...." - Emaze, on 06/25/2008, -0/+11Wow, that was less funny the second time....even with the quotes.
- serif69, on 06/25/2008, -0/+10I know women who have used a urinal. It's apparently not that big a deal. At least not when alcohol is involved.
- clickwir, on 06/25/2008, -0/+10*****

do it - linzperc, on 06/25/2008, -0/+10Closer parking spots, sweet ramps, and a restroom with built in server - equipped with air conditioning units, ventilation, dedicated power, backup power... Damn it! The handicapped get everything!
- Wootstapler, on 06/26/2008, -0/+9No, that's not what she said.
- faizal5k, on 06/25/2008, -4/+12The Stalled Server Room
A few months back, Jen Frickell's company was given some bad news. When their lease ended, they'd have to move out of their second-floor suite. The good news, however, was that a suite would be available on the first floor. All they'd need to do was pack up and move downstairs.
It was a fairly reasonable request, so the company's executives signed a new lease and prepared to move. There was, however, just one, small hitch. The nice little server room they built in the back of their office - equipped with air conditioning units, ventilation, dedicated power, backup power, and so on - could not be relocated. Not only would it cost too much, but there was simply no room for it. The server room would just have to remain upstairs.
Obviously, the new second-floor tenant wouldn't want their neighbors walking through their office to access a server room, so building management and the company's executives came up with an alternative: wall off the server room door and build a new one. It seemed simple enough, but there was, however, just one small hitch. The only available wall to install a door was adjacent to the women's restroom. Inside the handicapped stall.
And since you're reading about it here, you know that didn't stop them. Here is the email from building management:

Subject: Server Room Access
Hi all.
As you all are aware, we have new tenants that have moved into
the 2nd floor suites. The access to the server room is now via
the women’s bathroom.
There will be a sign on the woman’s door that can be changed
from OPEN to CLOSED and vice versa.
Should you need to enter the server room, please change the sign
to CLOSED. Once you are done, please change it back to OPEN.
Once you enter the bathroom, you will be able to access the
server room via the handicapped stall. Please close the stall
door prior to entry, just in case someone doesn’t see that the
bathroom is closed.
I know this isn’t ideal, but if we adhere to this protocol, I
don’t think anyone will be disrupted.
Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions.

Jen was kind enough to snap a picture of their just-finished server room entrance.

- darksideownedu, on 06/26/2008, -1/+9I just did. *****, now I have to change my pants.
- fsuarez2005, on 06/25/2008, -0/+8Yeah, there are no servers in the men's bathroom.
- kinggimped, on 06/25/2008, -0/+8He just met the man of his dreams, but now he's meeting his beautiful wife.
- arjie, on 06/25/2008, -1/+9Yes they can, just put the server in the kitchen ;)
- Fluvant, on 02/27/2009, -2/+9This has peeping-tom written all over it.
- BufordT, on 06/25/2008, -3/+10Good thing it's ventilated, because there's only one reason to go in the handicapped stall, it's to not be recognized when you are dropping the big nasty loads.
