...and really aren't.
I've been running around like a madwoman hunting computers from a list that holds just the machine name and a rather vague location for the machine (90% of the time, it's wrong). These machines are getting an extra stick of 128mb ram. Pathetic. Anyway, I go around the building and ask people for their machine name and then if they're on the list, ask them to shut down so that I can take a half a minute to pop in the new stick. Here's how it's gone:
User: My machine name? FRED! TEEHEE!
Me: *GLARE* that wasn't funny the first thirty times I heard it, and you're no exception. No, your computer name.. there, click on my computer once.. no, not double click.. JUST LET ME.. okay there.
User: Shut down? You mean log off?
Me: No, Shut down.
User: Oh, reboot..
Me: NO. SHUT DOWN!!!
And it's not just that this happened once or twice.. I'd say 35 out of the 45 machines I've done have been the same way.. for two days. Shoot me now?
