Completly off topic.

Hello All, Something so funny just happened that I just have to share with you.

I work on an IT helpdesk (For the better part of the day I do nothing but read B3TA etc because its a very quiet role)

I had a user come to me and say oh my outlook is not working and I cannot explain it you must come now, So I wander over to desk and she goes im trying to go to my latest e-mail by scrolling up but it just keeps going to the bottom.

Looks at desk, A Stapler is on the Space Bar !!!

None of you really care or don't think it was funny but so far that is the highlight of my day !

Sorry for the Length / Girth.

I'd have said: "I'll have to take your comp back for servicing"

and taken it off her for a week or two.

DailyWTF is far too right sometimes...

hahahaha

i used to work on a help desk for BT and had one of their lawyers on the phone, shouting that he cant get on the internet.

after the usual diagnostics, he still couldn't connect so i passed him through to 2nd line (to which point he was screaming that he was going to get us all fired...i told him too;-) )

anyway 2nd line couldn't deal with it and nor could 3rd line support, until one day myself, and 2nd line were joined by 3rd line in a conference call by the lawyer to sort out the issue

me "can you connect now?"

lawyer "no i bloody well can't!"

3rd "erm....have you asked the hotel for ACCESS to the internet?"

lawyer "..."

*line goes dead*

Great Line

I always come out with,

Me: Fill in a hardware request form.

User: Why, What do I need to request ?

Me: A new user

Or the other has been know to be:

Me: I have found the error.

User: What is it?

Me: It lies somewhere between the Keyboard and chair...

Was it in jelly (again!)?

Out IT helpdesk is hopeless (tho i';m sure it's no reflection on all you lovely people).

They 'lost' 10 CS licenses so our CS2 upgrades were worthless;
They told me my PC was taking 10 minutes to open a folder because my mp3 was plugged in;
And they have no idea what VPN is.

OMG !

Do they work in India ? (Much offence meant)

That really does suck, I cannot believe people can have IT jobs with comments like that.

But then again customers can be just as bad, Had a women once who would call everyday as she was sure Aliens were taking her PC over via the Card Reader.

AND IM NOT JOKING !
