This morning my company sent out a memo announcing that a new file server has been set up to soon replace the one currently in use. I’ve mentioned before my company’s affinity for the word “global” and their propensity to attach it as a prefix to just about everything (Sales Dept. = boooriiing; Global Sales Dept. = THE FUCKING R0X0R!!!11shift), and this is no exception. The new server has been christened the “Global File Server,” or “G-File” (on a whole new level) for short. Amusingly, the name is a bit of a misnomer, as the server is not actually accessible from outside the company network, let alone from outside of Japan.

And yes, in case anyone is wondering, the irony was completely lost on everyone in my company. They’re all proud of how kakkoii (cool) it sounds. I guess “Internal File Server G” doesn’t have the same flare.
