You can't be trusted with them.

Evidently not
I've got em back now so I should be able to print off all my e-mails

Why do you need to print off all your emails?

I see
This actually happened at one of our customers. Printed and filed every email sent to him

My printer controls are quite important to me
As I have to send various PO's to different offices around the country, I can't believe people still use fax machines.

EDIT: wow just counted I have access to print at 39 printers

Wow you're kind of a big shot round there, eh?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:28, Reply)

Yeah, who do I think I am?

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:29, Reply)

We use fax machines because our staff are idiots.
When the fax machines go down it causes all manner of problems to the extent that we have a service to re-route incoming faxes to an email address.

Now, you'd think the sensible thing would be to re-route them permanently, right? So did I. Apparently it's not allowed.

I work with a person who always printed off all her emails and filed them
She embraced modern electronic archiving in a most retarded way. She prints out her emails and then scans them back in to the computer and saves them. We have tried to explain how an exchange server backs up all her emails and shown her how to create an email archive. We have even shown her how to print to file but she still prints and scans every email.

Some people are utterly incapable of using technology.
We've got one person that has a shit-fit every time her password expires. She physically cannot work out how to do it and blames it on the computer each time. It's getting boring.

If you set it to 1amN1d10T
and spell it out for them to enter they'll never realise as they'll never actually see it.

My comapny still seem to have quite a few people that should have retired years ago
This = no PC usage, faxing is high end technology and some still use royal mail for letters that could be wizzed over in seconds
( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:32, Reply)

Sack her
She's a danger to herself and others.

Funnily enough she has been given notice of redundancy.

Because IT monkeys have fucking hundreds of people asking for shit jobs to be done
but they are only one person.

Just fix it please.

Your request has been placed in a queue and will be ignored like the rest of them

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:32, Reply)

I DON'T CARE
just gimme my printers back
( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:27, Reply)

Because the printer controls for one person
are a really fucking minor issue and they don't care when they have more important things to be doing. Also, they probably hate you.
( Kroney, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:32, Reply)

Of course they hate me, they work in IT

Each time they bitch, back to the bottom of the pile they go.

Nahhh, we have a in house IT guy that hates the open office he works in
So he often looks for an excuse to come to my office have a cuppa and chew the fat............Heywaitaminute I wonder if he broke my printers???????????

Is toner the name for YM's cunt??????

no.






it's Nigel
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:48, Reply)

Is that because it smells like a negroe?

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:49, Reply)

I've certainly been making plans for it.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:49, Reply)

I wonder if she goes for young ones

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:50, Reply)

It doesn't like people from outside its immediate gene-pool entering?

Yeah, like I would let Stunned anywhere near me

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:36, Reply)

In my last job, someone tripped over the power cable to the printer and pulled it out
We weren't allowed to plug it back in ourselves, and so had to raise a work ticket. Took the IT guy 3 days to get round to plugging the lead back into the printer. Unbelievable, but completely true.
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:45, Reply)

i would have just plugged it back in...

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:47, Reply)

THATS IT - EVERYBODY OUT ON STRIKE
You are putting my members out of work here and we won't tolerate it.
I've balloted the union and they have voted unanimously that you are a cunt.

Luckly we can use common sense here

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:47, Reply)

Just not printers

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:50, Reply)

He sorted it betweem 8-9am, I just didn't think having B3ta open would be a good idea

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:55, Reply)

We don't work to those ticket things, thankfully.
Completely unnecessary for the most part. We fix most stuff over the phone.

The best advice is to be nice to your IT people. We're used to everybody hating us so tend to adopt a fuck you attitude. Be nice, bring us sweeties. You'll be surprised how quickly stuff gets fixed if we like you.

Basically, I'm advocating bribery and corruption.

Yup, and its not just cakes and sweets that work
I find that treating me like I am a human being, using manners and not treating me like I broke the fucking thing works well too.
( Peej, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:54, Reply)

I like it when people argue with me over what's wrong with it.

shut up and fix it IT monkey

You should be happy that you are getting some form of human contact

I find it quite difficult talking to IT support on the phone because I don't really know anything about Dungeons and Dragons
But at least you can't smell them over the phone.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:51, Reply)

Given that you smell like a hemp-farmer's sock drawer, I find this a little rich.

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:57, Reply)

And why were you not allowed to plug it in?
and why didn't you just plug it in anyway? Its unbelievable but IT guys are usually highly skilled people and have a lot more important things to do than plugging a cable back in and they probably thought "Fuck it, if they are going to treat us like dirt they can fucking wait"
( Peej, Thu 20 Jun 2013, 9:52, Reply)

In case we electricuted ourselves, apparently
In hindsight, we shouldn't have told anyone and just plugged it back in ourselves.
