I never really wanted to be a scientist.
  
  I wanted to be...a...A SYSADMIN!
  
  [system engineer choir and shift supervisor enter, music strikes up]
  
  Oh, I'm a sysadmin and I'm OK,
  I grep all night and I chown all day.
  [choir] He's a sysadmin and he's OK,
  He greps all night and he chowns all day.
  
  I ping the nodes, I do PM, I awk and perl and sed.
  I've got a Star Wars lunchbox, and Tron sheets on my bed!
  [choir] He pings the nodes, he does PM, he awks and perls and seds.
  He's got a Star Wars lunchbox, and Tron sheets on his bed!
  
  [repeat chorus]
  
  I ping the nodes, I change the rates, I fork the processes.
  I wish that all my lusers would catch some rare disease!
  [choir, growing slightly uncomfortable] He pings the nodes, he changes rates,
    He forks the processes.
  He wishes all his lusers would catch some rare disease!
  
  [choir brightens as they repeat chorus]
  
  I ping the nodes, I lock the /home partition and umount.
  I post .gifs of my boss's daughter from his account!
  [choir, very uncomfortable and trailing off] He pings the nodes, he locks the
    /home partition and umounts...??
  
  [shift supervisor, in tears]  Oh Bevis!  And I thought you were so dedicated.
