» IT Support

overpaid idiots..
The 'elf and safety' Nazis told us that we were not allowed to prop up our monitors with the abundant supply of old tech manuals (working in a University IT department means there are no shortage of these!), so we just wrapped a blank sheet of A4 around the front, and drew a crude computer on it - 'ON' button, cd slot and so forth...
Following week *very* expensive contractor sits at this particular desk and after a while turns to me to complain the PC wont turn on...
Yup, you guessed it.. he was pressing the paper 'on' button.
Sadly this was not just his 'first day nerves' as this well illustrated his skill level. He did'nt last very long but still he managed to earn my annual salary in his three months with us.

so, not all bad then, eh ?
