That didn't take long...

You are the head of your own little empire, you take on a new field sales guy who has come from a printer/copier company. You decide that your head office could do with a new all singing, all dancing, multifunction laser network printer/fax/copier with an extra booklet unit add-on.

Do you:

A) Consult your GrumpyGeekDad about the new purchase. Discuss where the unit will be located within the office (this thing is 4' x 2' x 4' and needs power, network and phoneline connectivity). Discuss which one of the two physically disparate networks the device will be connected to and therefore which of the company's employees will be able to use it?

OR

B) Not bother even mentioning it to GrumpyGeekDad. He loves surprises and will relish the challenge of having to deconstruct desks to make room, repatch several network points and guess which of the aforementioned networks this thing will be attached to (and therefore configured for) all while you are unavailable, somewhere between the 8th and 9th hole?

If you picked option B then thanks for that, I was bored stiff. I'll see you on Tuesday morning, boss.
