One day the receptionist came running to my desk, with a very panicked voice. The problem ? She managed to cut her phone wire. Not one of those tiny regular one, no, a bigass one of those huge "my phone has a shitload of lines" wire thing. How the gently caress did that happen ? She decided to move her phone on the other side of her desk, but since the wires were going trough a zip tie (not even tightened, just a loose loop to hold the wires up) she used the biggest scissors she could find to cut the zip tie, and managed to cut the phone line at the same time. The kicker ? Her desk doesn't have a hole for wires on the other side, so she can't move her phone there.

quote:From: CEO Fun fact: I'm a programmer, not the IT guy. We're extra busy in our usual end-of-year rush and he brings me his father's PC. Why doesn't he ask this to the IT guy ? We're sharing IT with our parent company, and he doesn't want the parent company to know he makes us fix the computers of everyone he ever met. Three weeks ago it was his wife's PC that he dropped by my desk.

haljordan posted:Is that the entire email? Did he not even bother to say "thanks" at least? I mean, I know he's the CEO and all, but what a dick move. No thanks, nothing. He called my phone half an hour later because I didn't immediately reply, he told me to work on it today (since the IT guy is not here today). Edit: He's not really a dick, he's just WAY TOO BUSY to say thanks.

For fucks sake, the printer detected the intruder WEEKS ago, and yet everybody ignored the messages...

Salespeople are the worst users. One of them called me (a programmer, I don't do IT support) on my lunchbreak because his laptop locks itself every 8 minutes. "Can't you show this to the IT guy ?" Of course not, he's in a BIG presentation with important clients. "Move your mouse from time to time so your screensaver doesn't activate, and show it to IT tomorrow when you get at the office tomorrow. No I can't fix this right now it's a group policy and you don't have admin rights so I can't even walk you though hacking it manually in the registry." His answer ? "Okay I'll drop my laptop on your desk first hour tomorrow morning" and hangs up. I guess I should wear my "No I will not fix my computer" shirt more often...

kensei posted:We use Google Apps for our Residential customers. So ... show him how to create a filter to auto-delete the mails like he's asking ? What's the big deal, he wants to check his spam folder and would like to auto-delete the viagra ones, it's not that hard to show him how to do a filter for that. It's not like he's yelling at you because he's got spam in his spam folder. Teach a man to fish...

Dick Trauma posted:He's taking the day off today so that should help. I notified HR in case it was unapproved. Again. You realize that "takes a day off" means "buys a shotgun to shoot up the place", aren't you a bit scared ?
