hello i am fast cheap awesome
I work in On-Site Support for a large Australian Government Department, so I go out and fix things that Help Desk can't, either because it's a physical issue or because they don't know how. Here are two tickets that we have received, with the titles Help Desk gave them.

**URGENT PC NEWS**
Have you confirmed client's details: Yes FAQ Search Conducted for fixes: Yes Problem: - client called to advise that her pc was really noisy - she also advised that her pc would not work and she had tried a few others which did not work Detail Attempted Fix: - could onsite please assist? Reference Number Given: Yes

HER PC WOULD NOT WORK AND SHE HAD TRIED A FEW OTHERS WHICH DID NOT WORK. Okay, I will apply the 'make pc work' patch'.


KEYBOPARD NOT WORKING
Have you confirmed client's details: Yes client know on 6th floor Problem:most buttons on keybpard are not working. water appear to be leaking out. can onsite please assist? Error Message(s):nil Detail Attempted Fix:cl;ient is using another kepboard at the present When was the last time this worked successfully?today Does client have a work around?yes Reference Number Given: Yes]

Besides the obvious reason for this one, I like that the Help Desk person didn't spell keyboard correctly once.

hello i am fast cheap awesome
I come in this morning and find this in my inbox.

Director posted:

Hi - let me know if you are not the right person to help with a Blackberry meltdown but mine has detached its memory from the email and gone into cyber space after a 60 second warning and asking for a special blackberry code that I didn't have....??

Perhaps I am not a good owner but now it is just a phone that doesn't work that well either.. Can you help??

She's a nice lady though, so I guess I'll just go up and find out what the christ she's talking about.
