OT: Monday Smiley

Manning the computer help desk for the local school district was my first
job. And though I was just an intern, I took the job very seriously. But not
every caller took me seriously. "Can I talk to a real person?" a caller
asked. "I am real," I said. "Oh, I'm sorry," the caller said. "That was rude
of me. What I meant to say was, could I talk to someone who actually knows
something?"

My personal experience is that when I don't know what to do right away,
people are shocked. I once had a user bring me a 10-key calculator to
fix. Come to think of it, I did fix it -- I issued a PO for a new one.

That's happening to the "professional" computer guy at my school. Teachers
call asking for help. when ever the computer guy gets there, they ask for
somebody who knows something. Unfortunately, I am his replacement during one
of my periods. Things that take him a day only take me half an hour, and the
hardest part is dealing with teachers. Needless to say, the other guy is
close to being fired

I have a 2 x 4 that I use. I call it my magic wand. I also call it a user
smartening stick.

Only a 2 x 4? I figured that we needed a 4 x 4 as a minimum.
I really prefer a tire iron.

that. I'll give it a try.

that I could write SUPERFUCKALICIOUS, and it would get through.

Yeah, I've tried the stick method but nothing scares them straight
quicker than the sound of a pump action shotgun. You don't even need
bullets.

I did try to convince our purchaser that I need a five-pound sledge for
my toolbox but he didn't seem convinced. <sigh>
