We are not upset. Its just that we've had experience of similar
demands/requests in the past.
It is only by being what is considered rude in the non-geek world that
you can expose what the management/client really wants, or really is
willing to pay for.

Khusro, wlecome to GLLUG by the way. I hope you stick around.

And, by the way, here's how to cope with this one in the short term.
Perform those upgrades. Get friendly with the night shift of cleaning
staff. show them a nice place to plug in the hoover, where they can
safely remove the existing plug. Make yourself scarce. Extra brownie
points in the sysadmin world if you get a pat on the back for reviving
that dead server in quick time next morning.
