Worst Person for the JobIn a week where it emerges that the new Health Secretary is a fan of the hocus-pocus that is homeopathy, tell us about people who are spectacularly out of their depth in a job. Have you ever found yourself wallowing in your own incompetence? Tell us. (Note: "Name of football manager/politician - nuff said" does not constitute an answer)

Pffft, wrong man for the job?Pretty much the whole IT department where I used to work - especially the managers and supervisors. Not really any funnies out of that though, just tooth-gnashing fury at the ineptitude and waste of NHS money.
For light-hearted relief, a couple from one of the helpdesk operators, who surprised me every day by remembering the way to the office:
1. Asking me for help with a call - "User wants to attach something to an email twice as the recipient needs to print two copies. It will only let him attach it once though"
2. Asking me for help with an email someone had sent her. When I told her to email it over and have a look at it, she replied "Well, ok. Will you email it back when you've finished with it though please? I need it!"
Seriously, your taxes are paying her wages O_o

The solution to the first problemis to make a copy of the file and rename it and attach that one too.
As for the second problem, she should have been told to print a copy of the attachment and then scan and save it.
You're not very good at this computer lark are you?
