I found a great new blog. It is by an IT guy that pretty much makes fun of all of the stupid things people do and demand of IT guys. I can't believe how many times I was laughing at how funny some of that stuff is when you actually say it out loud.
Good reasons to call a computer technician
- If you have really bad posture so your back is hurting. All Network Administrator have to take a course in chair adjustment. We’re all experts at it. Plus, if you have bad posture and always slouch in your chair, adjusting it or getting a new chair will always fix the problem.
- If you’re an idiot and have no idea what you’re doing. Actually, you wouldn’t think that you would call a computer tech for this but you definitely should. There is a right and wrong way to go about it however. If you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t just call up and ask for help or advice. That never works. Call and tell them that your brand new $3000 dollar laptop sucks and they should buy you a new one. That will almost always fix the problem.
- If the owner of the company you work for implements something that in some small way affects your computer and you don’t like it. For example, if the owner decides he wants a background image to be on all company computers. You should definitely call the computer tech. Actually, this works best if at least half of the people in the company call him and bitch about it. You should try and coordinate your efforts so you all do it within about a two day period. Make sure to mention that it’s intrusive, and the image is ugly, and that you’ve spent about 3 hours trying to figure out how to change it back instead of doing your job. I mean, after all, it is your computer right? It’s not like the company bought it or anything.
