from one of the high level math teachers here on campus
"i left a student alone on my computer to print something out, when i came back all my test files were gone, the student wasnt here, and their print job was still pending."

I work at a community college Help Desk, therefore we are obliged to hire student workers. As you know, in every class there are students who will get an A, and there are those who will get an F. This is a tale of the latter.

Just now, a couple of our students called my co-worker and me over to inform us of our dunce's latest blunder. It seems that his home computer's virus protection software's license ran out in January. Of course, he got a virus - actually, a lot of them.

Well, he came up with a brilliant solution! He brought his home computer to work, pulled out the harddrive, and put it into one of our computers so he could use our virus software to clean his harddrive.

Oops.

Too late, now both harddrives are infected. The trojans switched off the virus update and scan functions and everything was shot to hell. The techs around here were just trying not to cry we were laughing so hard.

Then, we stopped and realized we're stuck with this guy as a student worker, and we did shed a tear or two.

You know what really annoys me? Random companies that call your office trying to sell you toner. You're not around, so your colleagues give them your name and email address. You're called "Jo" so they automatically assume because you're in IT that you're male.

Well guess what buddy? You were told during that phone call that I'm a Mrs, so addressing the email to "Mr Joe Caswell" lost you any chance at all of getting my business before I even read the rest of the email. Your prices weren't that good anyway.
