I finally found the link to this site that I used to frequent until I had read all of the trouble tickets that this guy, "George" submitted. It's great especially if you read them all the way through

The Chronicles of George

Ah yes, I remember my years doing network support. Always a good laugh after the frustration level of dealing with morons subsides

Thanks for teh link, Boog!

I feel much better after reading about George, knowing that My George was fired over a year ago now.

So today.....guy is having network connectivity problems on 3 servers. I walk out to the floor to check it out....

2 of the boxes have no power

This is from server guys, not your average dumbass

Sounds like "George" has been reading too many Dilbert comics and is doing his best boss impressions.

Copiers can be just as much fun.. especially when someone puts dry toner in a liquid machine. (Hey, mixes just like kool-aid, right?)

The title reminds me of Tom Cruise running around screaming "TECH SUPPORT!"

Ohh my fucking god. I want to kill that george guy. I seriously hope he has no kids, and is completely unable to procreate. GOOD GOD MAN. If I were that IT guy, I'd take those help tickets to the boss, and show him the type of retardation that eminates from this lack of a person.

Here, George performs some troubleshooting. And, miracle of miracles, his troubleshooting is moderately relevant. Unfortunately, his grammar is still on the level of a dying gorilla who has been taught sign language and is trying frantically to communicate to her handlers that she has just swallowed a chemical that is causing seizures.

I think this was my favorite response to a George Ticket...it's back on page 38 or so.

but this is the one I am usually thinking at work:

And I'm recieving anerror that states i am no longer able to avoid beating you with a sledgehammer.

I used to work with low grade retards like this at my last job. Most of them were on the network design and installation teams.

This one stupid bitch actually tried to send IPX over the Internet. No translation device, just raw IPX. My buddies kept the spec and we'd show it to the new-hires who had a clue just to let them know exactly what they'd gotten themselves into.
