The life of an IT guy....

A friend of mine who shall remain nameless, ok, it was my cousin Lauren, sent me this email morning:

"My cat puked all ove my keyboard. I hate my life. I assume I need a new one?"

There is humor in every profession, welcome to mine

My daughter spill milk over her T43.

Sent it back to IBM and they made it run again, I think the only thing they kept was the hard drive and the case.

People are amazing huh?

Back in the late 90's I had a user call my helpdesk bitching moaning and complaining that he couldn't get on the internet. so kim (the engineer who wound up with the call), after talking to him for about 5 minutes finally said "by the way, where are you?" to which he replied "on a plane flying to L.A. from NY"

The moron thought that simply by firing up IE he could get on the internet. And on a plane no less.

amazing is an understatement, everytime someone has an issue with the internet i tell them someone rebooted one of the W in the WWW and it will take a moment for it to come back. stupidity never ceases to amaze me, or how about a guy who was affraid to move the mouse off the mouse pad cuz he thought it would stop working. been doing this for 5 yrs now and still learn new things on stupidity everyday

From a previous post and from my joke files come this oldie but goody.

CUSTOMER SERVICE CALL

This has got to be one of the funniest things I've heard of in a Long
time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired.
This is a True phone call from the Word Perfect Help line which was
transcribed from a Recording monitoring the customer care department.
Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is
currently suing the WordPerfect organization for "Termination without
Cause." This is actual Dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer
Support employee. Now I know why they record these conversations!

"Ridge Hall computer assistance; may I help you?"

"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."

"What sort of trouble?"

"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went
away."

"Went away?"

"They disappeared."

"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"It's blank, it won't accept anything when I type."

"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"

"How do I tell?"

"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"

"What's a sea-prompt?"

"Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"

"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I
type."

"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"

"What's a monitor?"

"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it
have a little light that tells you when it's on?"

"I don't know."

"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power
cord goes into it. Can you see that?"

"Yes, I think so."

"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into

the wall."

"Yes, it is."

"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two

cables ! plugged into the back of it, not just one?"

"No."

"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the
other cable."

"Okay, here it is."

"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back
of your computer."

"I can't reach."

"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"

"No."

"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"

"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle it's because it's
dark."

"Dark?"

"Yes, the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in

from the window."

"Well, turn on the office light then."

"I can't."

"No? Why not?"

"Because there's a power failure."

"A power... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do
you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer
came in?"

"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just l like
it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."

"Really? Is it that bad?"

"Yes, I'm afraid it is."

"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"

"Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."
