Juvenile rat snake hanging around in my office this morning. I got him relocated outside before the accounting ladies got to work, which is good because they probably would have burned the building down.

I have that same carpet in my office (without snake).

I try to save all the non-venomous snakes, now if it would have been the canebrake we found in the shop not too long ago then I would have had to play dumb about why there was blood stains on the carpet. I am the safety manager so relocating the harmless snake probably saved me some paperwork in the event someone had a heart attack if they had seen it.
it was almost dead when we saw it, think it ate a rat that had gotten into the rat poison, but it was a good size rattler

Frustrating to me that I would not have been able to tell what it was.

Not sure if serious, but if you are, here's one thing to remember:
A lot of people are quick to assume every damn snake is "poisonous" (venomous), especially when they see markings similar to the pic in the OP. Often young snakes are harder to determine because the distinguishing markings are not as obvious. However, when you encounter a relatively small snake like the one pictured, both the cottonmouth and the copperhead will have light greenish-yellow tails. At least that gets you the venomous/non-venomous step taken care of.

long straight tail and the kinky body made it really easy to identify. I have been fooled before, but I make it a point to look at all the snake id threads here and on another message board to educate myself and test my knowledge. I am by no means an expert on snake identification.

Yep, definitely. I'm trying hard to learn to identify, but if I saw that in the house, I don't know what I'd do.
