I work with about 25 people and 20 of them are just idiots. I thought work politics would only be found in the larger work places but this place is just riddled with it. Being IT I get to sit back and watch the show normally but lately there have been some computer problems. The kicker is that the problems lie outside our systems and deal with the ISP but people don't seem to understand much less care. Better to just bitch and blame the IT department.

Subject: computer problem

Hello,

My scanner is not working. I have had the same problem twice in the last two weeks and Jamie assisted me both times. The software to correct the problem should be on the server. I am leaving the office, so my password is <removed>.

Thanks for your help.

End users!

I can't get mine to page me when somethig breaks. Nothing like coming in on Monday morning to a Captain standing in my office wanting to know why his people had to do without a printer all weekend.

I ask, I'm told they reported it to the shift commander. My answer "Great! When your car breaks down, do you call your priest?"

People......

Scene from Mall Rats that applies quite heavily to the support call I'm currently on:

Jeremy London: Isn't the customer always right?

Ben Affleck (leans toward him as if to whisper in his ear and instead yells):
THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS AN ASSHOLE!
