Things I’ve learned, working in IT.

I like the (l)users that want a screen filter (because they can) and then turn up the brightness on their monitor.


6 months down the line they need a new screen when they've burnt theirs.

 

LMAO @ (l)users....

not seen that before

 

I had a tw*t stick a magnet to his monitor, and couldn't work out why it was going wierd. I removed it, told him not to do it again. He then walked around the office putting the magnet on everyones screens so they could all see how 'cool' it looked!

That was the same pillock that couldn't understand why his login wouldn' work...... he had spelt his own name wrong.

 

ok here is one fro you, i work in video...

try explaining why putting their pooty VHS which they recorded in EP
on a 100 deck, onto a HDCAM via a 42k machine still doesnt look
any better.

Here's another. I dropped a tape infront of someone. The
proclaimed that they didnt want that one and i should make the tape
again. when i ask why, she tells me that the tape will now have
digital dropouts. clever poo

 

When IT man is standing behind you while you delete something and asks why you deleted it, tell him you didn't delete anything, he'll believe you.

When IT send you emails and popup messages all day warning that the mail server is going down at 5pm for 20 to 30 minutes, phone him at 5:05 and tell him you can't get your mail.

When IT has performed some miracle on a network problem, application problem, etc. ask for all the details of what went wrong and how he fixed it, 'cause you're gonna understand it all aren't you?

When email is down and IT man tells you he'll email you to tell you it's back up, please do take him seriously and call him an idiot.

 

hint of sarcasm....?

First 3 actually happened to me though.
