The server is the graveyard

graduation
summer
baby's first job
first office
(well, half of one)
first server
what the hell is a server

letters from directors
failed projects
budgets
plans
the server is the graveyard

eyes bleary but you keep going
feeling suddenly more powerful than ever before
vast swaths of red-tape knowledge
read
read
read
before they realize their mistake

months pass
the server becomes amorphous
oppressive
you resent it
(you've never been good at the organization business)
you realize
no one cares about the server
or what you saw
or what you know

you almost forget about it
until
graduation
summer
new guy in the office

the cycle begins again
