Not to be confused with code monkeys which actualy produce software and services the company can profit from.

IT Guy - "Can you believe that manager just told me to install Vista? Seriously, who does he think he is?"

"No, we don't have any more monitors for the design people. Why? Because we need them here in IT so we can get more work done (a.k.a. play WOW on one of them while checking e-mail on the other)."
