There's a comedian named Eddie Izzard who had as one of his lines in his technology skit:
"I deleted the file? I deleted all the files?! I deleted the internet?? I don't even have a modem!"

If you can I recommend getting a copy of his skit about trying to get his printer to print. Hell all of Eddie Izzard's stuff is well worth a listen.

So I had to go to Memphis on Friday to install a new pc image on the machines there. Easy job. While there I got asked by the sales manager to go to an off-site facility where they are having a sales meeting next week to verify if they have a phone line to call into our RAS sever for some web-based training. Ok..easy. Then about an hour later got called again to check with the facility management to see if they have a speaker phone they could use. If they didn't they wanted me to go and buy a speaker phone so they could make calls. Luckily the facility had pots and no PBX system so any phone would work. You know a little planning my management would have saved everyone a lot of time and me running back and forth...

A stupid field tech

My friend is not a tech but she clearly shows the sheer stupidity of some field techs. Note she is not a tech but still fixed the job better than the dope who came out to her house.
