I bothered to stop masturbating long enough to shower & drive to work.... for this. Why? In the name of all things shiny, why?

Please send quote for charger/adapter for (person)'s laptop. the model is Dell XP Professional. He lost his charger while traveling and needs a replacement. Thaks.

Back from a week in the sun and straight back into the stupidity.  Oh man, it burns.

Fool #1.

Me, via email:  "I will come up later to do the work whilst you're in your meeting; can you make sure you log off of the machine so that I can log in with admin rights to make the changes."
User, visiting me later on way to meeting: "Hi, I've left my computer locked for you."
Me: Um, ok... have you logged off?"
User: "Logged off?  No, I'm logged in... is that a problem?"
Me:  "I asked you to log off, as I need to do the work logged in myself."
User: "Oh, I didn't realise you meant I should log off."

GRR.

Fool #2:
(Problem:  Machine keeps spontaneously rebooting; suspected problem with the DIMM slots)

Me, verbally AND on phone: "I am going to ring Dell to arrange for an engineer to come out and replace your motherboard tomorrow, or later in the week.  In the meantime, I suggest you use a different machine, as yours is clearly not working properly."
User:  "Ok, thank you."

Twenty minutes later...

User on phone: "Hello, it's me.  It's just done it again!!eleventy!"
Me:  "Yes... it will keep doing it, because it's broken, and we haven't had it fixed yet..."
User: "Oh, it'll keep doing it?"

HEAD DESK, FACE PALM, ETC.

I need another holiday...
