When you called today to have your computer moved from cubicle x to cubicle y, who did you call?

IT Help. Right.

When you have a problem and decide to befoul our email inbox with your neeping, what is the email address?

IT Help. Right.

Now, let me try and break down the department name for you.

I (eye): Information. Knowledge derived from study, experience, or instruction. Processed, stored, or transmitted data. Something that you are completely devoid of.

T (tee): Technology. The application of science, especially to industrial or commercial objectives. Electronic or digital products and systems considered as a group. Yes, you half wit, this refers to the big glowing box that sits on your desk.

Help: Aid or assistance rendered. Usually with much gnashing of teeth at the unparalleled stupidity of lusers like yourself, and great consumption of Tums afterwards.

So, the function of this department is to provide you with assistance with your computer. Although the greatest assistance we could render is to hook up your keyboard to the building power mains.

So where in there does it say that I will/would/should help you move your fscking file cabinets? Yes, I am physically larger and stronger than you. No, I don't care that you don't want to empty them and carry the stuff 20 feet to your new cube. If it's that big a fscking deal to you, please call someone who gives a damn. I have other tickets from other idiots from Entitlement Acres that I have to deal with. If all that was required for me to move them was to sh*t on your file cabinets, I couldn't be bothered.

(And yes, the bodily excretions of the technical staff does have magical powers. Trust us.)

Same here, but since I'm a chick they call my boss to move all the crap.

We did though have to institute an "IT can only move your computer" policy because we're on static IP and certain services are routed to certain IP addresses. When they'd "switch" computers, it would fuck up who was getting what.

And yet if we were to remove them from the gene pool it would be called murder :-( where is the justice in that?

"neeping"...hillarious. I need to remember that one.

I used to have to haul all manner of stuff around the plant until I got diagnosed with arthritis. Now I just call engineering. They have plenty of strapping young lads in that department.
