Since I work at a college, we get ungodly amounts of vacation time. We are also forced to use our time at the end of the year if we don't use it during the year. Most people save up their time to do just that. some people (like me), just don't have any vacation. Everyone else is just stupid. This latter group of people are the only people on campus right now, and they have been calling me all week. I want to kill myself.

Here's my most recent call:

Me: Helpdesk
Caller: Yeah, me, so-and-so and so-and-so and everyone else were just sitting here working, and everything was fine.
Me: OK.
Caller: Then, bang! All the computers shut off.
Me: All the computers turned off at once?
Caller: Yes! Isn't that strange?
Me: Did anything else strange happen?
Caller: Yeah, all the lights went off, too.
*headslap*
Me: The power went out. You need to call Facilities, not the Computer Help Desk. I'm not an electrician.
Caller: Oh, you guys don't just fix everything?
Me: No, no we don't. We fix computers, the network and related things.
Caller: Oh.

The worst part, that isn't even close to the stupidest call I've had this week. That's just the most recent.
