You're all so negative about him, let's think positive: Be happy that he does this.
Imagine - just for a minute - he would be your banker, engineering your car or serve as your president. Truly horrifying.
QFT. But c'mon, don't stop there! Some of you have done top-notch impressions of the poor sod - now turn that around and imagine what he would actually do in these other roles.
(Meanwhile, side comment on his "telco/cable conversions": while his end of those projects was no doubt just as much of a WTF as SSDS, the choice of input may not have been. If you're trying to migrate away from a sufficiently proprietary software package, the only decent way of getting at the data may be to dump reports to a plaintext file and then parse through that.)
I'm not good at impersonating, so I'll just give a few possible scenarios:
SS, the minister of finance and a flaming speech for the "Coins for the Masses Act" - paper money can after all fly away and credit cards are only for the ClueLess.
SS, the minster of information of pre-war Iraq (that in fact, is a role that would fit him quite well, no harm done, yet anything coming out of his mouth is ridiculous)
SS, the pilot - probably overwriting the flight computer with SSDS to search the destination coordinates
SS, your neighbor (I do not dare to think this any further)
SS, Bill Gates (we'd all use something even worse than BOB now)
SS, manager of a tv network, (24/7 5s random clips)
SS, bartender, mixing the "CockTail for the Masses" (no idea what that would contain, ugh)
Really.. any possible position you can think of he'd be either annoying or dangerous.
