not the stupidest thing I've ever heard...

just got a call from a customer, her monitor was fried, had a ticket placed for a new monitor. OK, cool. She got the new monitor, the HW tech came out, hooked it up, is getting "input 1 no signal." Tried the input selector. "input 2 no signal." Tech checked all the cords, everything looked good, "I can't figure it out, call the helpdesk."

Customer calls and relates this to me.

Problem?

Computer wasn't turned on.

This is a fun one. I have one of the biggest offices in my department. So much so that my office has been renamed a "media lab". Because of this anything and everything that has something to do with technology is housed here under my watchful eye, including the color LaserJet.

The accountant came in and his job hasn't finished printing. He said the printer says to "Load Tray 3". I'm in the middle of something and I said to pull out the drawer and add more paper.

Let me pause a moment. Most everyone in the office (and world) has had to add paper to a printer at least once in their lives. Apparently not him. So I have to go and try to replace the little plastic piece that tells you how much paper is left. He ripped it out of the machine thinking it was a lock on the drawer.

And yes, I also had to put the paper in for him.

Yep.

Today has been strange. I have no work orders scheduled for today, but I ended up driving my car down to our south east office ( a one way trip of over 200 miles, I might add), to swap out a failing system. Apparently, they could not wait until TUesday ( Monday is our "christmas" holiday).

::rolls eyes::

FOrtunately, the mileage they are paying will pay for the speeding ticket I got in that po-dunk town. Yep, your moderator got busted for speeding. How bad? I was doing 50 in a 45. grrrrr.
