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.

..........lucky...........
First post this, after a long time lurking.

I work in education, and when I started my present job I had to get up to speed with interactive technology. One of the first things I did was look at some software our department had. I took it home.

I loaded the disk into my laptop, and what should come up but the menu for a hardcore pornographic film. Do remember that this had been taked from the dept. store room and was meant for use in the classroom. I was very relieved I hadn't just banged it on in class.

Obviously, I watched the film... or about 30 seconds of it anyway. I stopped so soon, not because I had erupted everywhere, but because there was a well endowed man dressed as a clown, including the make up, doing unspeakable things to a woman dressed as a vampire or gothic vixen or something.

Anyway, I nervously took it to the IT people the next day, and one of them seemed very relieved to see the film. After I explained that it wasn't mine etc, I left and began to relax a little. Imagine my surprise the next day, when a copied DVD turned up in my pigeon hole. And several of my colleague's pigeon holes, all copied using their computers in the fetid hellhole they spend their days in.

Length - probably a bit too long, and not snappy enough, but give me time... am also concussed after falling into a hole last nite, then down some stairs... doesn't help.

the fall?
well... you asked, and it is much more interesting. ahem,so...

On friday, i visited my friends house for a cheese and wine night. A civilised affair with various well educated young professionals attending. I arrived with my wonderful girlfriend and was warmly greeted by the householders, lovely young men to a man. I had three decent bottles of wine, some champagne and a delicious goats cheese, made from goats with personality.

It continued in this vein for a while. At some point, the missus and me visited another party where things went somewhat downhill. After several more drinks, including quarter pint shots of jagermeister, we went back to the civlised 'do' as they say up here.

However, it had somewhat deteriotated in theme we had been gone. After, apparantly, exposing myself in the road and slapping a few mates, I was stood on a wall. Next to the wall was one of those holes in the ground which allow light to basement windows, common to Victorian houses in many cities. I fell in.

People screamed. This Iremember. I remember being dragged out. I hurt. Then, as I was told in the pub earlier today, I did star jumps because I felt OK.

Then I ran up some stairs. a mate was at the top, having just covered his kitchen in urine. We bumped into each other. He didn't like this. And he threw my loose limbed drunken frame back down. 6 feet. Concrete. Second time in ten minutes. Head. Hurts.

I got up. Chased him. Was pulled off (not in good way) and checked over by some caring people. Then sent home.

My vision is nearly back. But I hurt. All over.

Length - ten minutes of idiocy. Jah know how many days of pain. And shame.

Bet you wish you hadn't asked!
