This is a question IT Support

Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

My boss - the scourge of IT...
Constantly moaning about his PC being slow (that'll be the numerous porn sites you access daily then), brings his personal laptop in at least every other week for cleaning (so you were surfing and a pop-up said you had viruses and you needed to download their program?).

Always makes me giggle when he's on the phone though: "OK, what's your email site?" (muffled sound from the other office as snee crams paper in his mouth to stop himself exploding with laughter).

And, to top this all off - at least once a week, he'll bring out the immortal "This network isn't running quite right - you need to buck your ideas up snee..."

And Corina in the office (bless her), comes out with some classics: "snee - my Google's gone funny..."
And: "I need an email program on my laptop at home - how do I get one?" how I managed to not say "Sacrifice a small chicken, or maybe a goat and pray to the great wise gods, and Thunderbird will appear on your desktop." is still amazing me to this day...

Oh wait - the boss rang me when I was onsite one time..."snee, nothing's working." After 10 minutes or so of me asking questions, I established that he wasn't receiving emails (NOTHING to do with the fact he clicks buttons 10 times or so if something doesn't happen immediately), so in his wisdom, had done the 'turn it off and on again' with the server...which was now busy checking the filesystem.
