I hate helpdesk.

User: "Where's my MS Word?"
Me: "You don't have word, you have OpenOffice." <remotes in and opens up OpenOffice>
User: "Yeah, but I want to use Word. This won't work."
Me: "It does the same thing."
User: "No, it's not the same. I have a very important letter I need to type."
Me: "What's different?"
User: "It looks funny."
Me: "Well this is what we have, give it a shot. If you have any questions after you try to type your letter, let me know, ok?"
User: "I guess, this isn't gonna work I bet."
Me: <sigh> "Ok."
User: "Look, if I don't get MS Word, I'm gonna complain to my boss."
Me: "Just give it a shot first."

<what I really wanted to say was "Fine, tell my boss that you are gonna fork out the $230 bucks for a MS Office license, because your 'boss' not wanting to pay for MS Office licenses is why we don't have MS Word and use OpenOffice.">

At the same time I have a user who is convinced her computer...is slow.

Even though I'm watching her work and it's fine.

"My computer is slow" is the WORST helpdesk complaint of all time.

</rant>

I feel you. I was saving source code and got I/O failure no hard drive space on the network. So i got to sit around for 2 hours not able to work due to lack of network space.

I'll never forget people coming to me for help in Adobe InDesign Class...

"Where's the Windows button on my Mac?"

One Little Spark...
Ok, I need to go get lunch and reset my attitude. It's been nonstop since 10a, and I'm done for now.

Broadcast message from a user to the whole company...

(11:49) vanessa******* Alert notification: Whoever is using ******** to log into <insert web based portal system> please stop I am trying to do a ren quote and keep getting kicked out. Please use the Username that was assigned to your location. THANK YOU!

She's not wrong, and this isn't hard, each location has a username that's...guess what it is.

Go ahead...guess.

THE NAME OF THE LOCATION!

Why someone is logging in with the wrong username blows my mind. I know they do it, but watch, it will be "IT's fault" in the Monday managers meeting...

This is my face during that meeting most of the time...

This cute little guy is going to be a pain. By who, you ask? Well, whoever you want!

Yes, we're back to sabotage.
Choose who you'd like to have to include this cute little guy in their design.

I mean, come on, who wouldn't like this sweet little bird in their concept?

Contestants, I'd like to say, we'll be off for a new destination for Challenge 8.

Challenge 8 will be tricky. So, try to get this advantage. You'll need some help for this.

Because, well, what I have planned doesn't involve a Park, at all.
