When the nice IT support guy

[emt-hawk.livejournal.com]

tells you that there is no wireless in your building, you should believe him.

Luser: "But my wireless tells me there is signal!"
NITSG: "That's in another building across the street. You're out of range for the signal."
Luser: "But my wireless tells me there is signal! Why do they get wireless, and we don't?"
NITSG: "Because their building was remodeled, and they don't have sheet metal in the walls."

This was an interesting read that was also a little scary! A tech support person attacked another technician for being in the Open Source business!

Dear nontech coworker

as much as you would like things to be different

- asking the same question will get the same answer, even if it's 7 (I counted) within 2 hours

- I am not your 'mate', neither am I your buddy, chum or even, if I could help it, a member of the same species. I'm just the poor smuck who sits nearest to your desk

- I don't care what your brother-in-law said to his cat last week, I have about 30 hours work to do in the next 3, bug off
