Duh sys-dum is down.

Things "the system" ("duh sys-dum") can refer to, according to my father:

1. Clientele, the software we use to catalog leads, contact information and pending deals. e.g.: "Will you make sure this deal is in duh sys-dum?"


2. The company's credit checking website. e.g.: "Does duh sys-dum have credit information on X company?"


3. Experian's credit checking website. e.g.: "Okay, this is ready [to be sent to operations]. Run credit in duh sys-dum for me."


4. One's own computer and/or that computer's hard drive. e.g.: "Oh, you have [X document] saved in your sys-dum?"


5. Citrix remote access of programs and/or the remotely accessed drives (personal and shared). e.g.: "I can't get into duh sys-dum! I need to use [Microsoft] Word!"


6. The Internet in general. e.g.: "Could you use duh sys-dum to mapquest directions from X place to Y place?"

Yes, I am still job searching. In the meantime, stay tuned for more lists of ridiculous things my father says.
