One of our ex-call loggers assigned this 'job' to my beau on our Helpdesk.  Thankfully she is no more.

"user is having problems witrh outlook spell check and error massege comes up ' the spelling in this massege is being vhecked, please wait. spelling in the massage can't be chacked, please try again later'"

I hear she didn't even realise what she'd done wrong when it was pointed out to her.

*dies*

Bwahahaha! Those just made my day.

It was the first thing I thought of when I saw this entry :)

Things like that make me glad we don't often share tickets around here. (:

Completely offtopic: are you a fellow David Lynch fan? It's not often you hear about anyone watching Twin Peaks these days.

I've noted that one of the major symptoms that a helpdesk is in trouble is the quality of the English in the tickets taking a nosedive. If only because it tends to indicate that the management is hiring on the basis of quantity over quality.

Lack of information...

If we (recap: Helldesk at hospital) sent over a ticket to Support with that little amount of troubleshooting, lack of information, and the eye-bleedingly bad spelling errors, we'd probably get written up, or at the very least, a stern talking to.

Wow... just....wow.

Hahahaha! I send Support that link whenever they complain about our tickets. They shut up for a few days after that. :)

Well, our call loggers do just that: log calls. Their jobs doesn't involve any troubleshooting at all. They get the phone call, ask "what's the problem" and write down exactly what they're told. So I can't pick her up for that, tbh, because it's not her job. But the spelling errors I do think are disgraceful. I used to do the call logging myself and I always ensured they were written in good English, if nothing else than to reduce the stress levels of the support boys!

OH YES. Eraserhead rocks my world. My father made me watch it when I was 15... explains a lot, I think ;) And I think Twin Peaks continues to be one of the greatest TV shows ever made.

You suck.

I managed to convince myself to get off of WoW @ 5 AM so I could go to sleep, then I saw this.

It is now 6:30 AM.

:C

Can't... stop... reading... the... pain...

I seriously fail to understand why nincompoop nutcases like that are hired when I can't get a decent job (granted I'm a college freshman @ Carnegie Mellon with no job experience).
