You are aware that you are support staff, yeah? Get fucking supporting and stop moaning.

It's not their lack of technical ability, that's expected and understandable.It's their complete inability to do what they're fucking told without my having to repeat myself three times. I find it offensive how stupid they are.
If you've got a screen in from of you with "3G" written on it and a fucking great big Connect button and I tell you to "connect to 3G", I do not expect you to say "so press the connect button, yes?"
That is retarded and incredibly annoying. I am support staff, yes. I am not a fucking babysitter.

I used to work in IT, so I understand how frustrating it can beThis is why I try my best to ask the right questions, be patient, etc...what doesn't help is that the IT department where I work is a fucking joke. They know less than nothing. It's so frustrating, because I want to give them a break and not just lose my rag like other people do, but they're SO FUCKING STUPID.

YepI don't even bother asking them stuff anymore. If I have a problem I don't already know how to fix, I google it. If our executives realised this, they'd probably fire the entire helpdesk.

In my last but one jobthe IT monkeys terminated my system access 2 weeks early, so I had to call them to get my account reinstated. "You'll need a new username and password" they said "but don't worry, as soon as you're back on line we'll email them to you". Then hung up.

I had somebody who assumed that a printer was wireless as "I thought it had an aerial in it or something". The printer wasn't connected, turned on or even plugged into the power socket. He had a proper fucking go at me over why he wasn't able to print to this machine that he didn't even have set up on his fucking computer. God alone knows where he was actually printing to.
