tape monkey

( n.)

   A junior system administrator, one who might plausibly be assigned to
   do  physical  swapping of tapes and subsequent storage. When a backup
   needs  to  be  restored,  one  might  holler  "Tape monkey!" (Compare
   {one-banana  problem})  Also  used  to  dismiss  jobs not worthy of a
   highly  trained  sysadmin's  ineffable talents: "Cable up her PC? You
   must be joking -- I'm no tape monkey."
