My apologies if I offended anyone in the IT industry.  It sounds like a rather broad term--what exactly do you do?

It is a very braod industry to.
Personally I handle data analysis and the associated processes for the academic area of our campus. Our campus IT personal create & maintain Web pages, manages the networks and of course support the users of the systems. We also have a third group Corporate IT who support us, and handle major changes in our systems. Like registration software were testing nationally that will allow our students to use the Internet to pick classes instead of paper pen & long lines.

How did this thread not discuss Wombles (?sp)?
There is a comic strip wombat called Wal, who's supposed to be wise and give good advice. The only thing I learned from wombats is that waddling when you walk is only cute if you're also small and furry.
Hmmm, how about "As wobbly as a wombat"?

The term I.T. remains inapt and pretentious in my books

IT (?) industry jargon
What does IT stand for, anyway? Inane Twaddle comes to mind.
(Speaking of which, this post was nothing more than a thin excuse to graduate to newbie status...)
CONGRATULATIONS! on your Newbie-hood.
Inane Twaddle, I like that.

About 10 days ago (Sunday) I caught some of the highlights of Oz TV Channel 7 Nightly Olympic Highlights with Fatso the Fat-Arsed Wombat on UK TV. Some bits were very funny. The International and Australian Olympic committees were not very amused by this wombat becoming the unofficial mascot of the Australian team and getting into the act , see http://liberalbranches.org/comment/ed_fatso_25sep00.htm"As unwelcome as a fat-arsed wombat at an olympic committee meeting" is my suggestion.

belM, You're back!
There's "like a moose caught in headlights" or "like a deer caught in headlights" depending on where you are. I don't think they have deer here, so the moose one makes more sense.
