Tech Support HELL

Sorry about missing porn day, I was out of town.

Anyway, we had a lab manager who was pretty much a looney..   One day she announced she was marrying one of the students (that everyone was pretty much convinced was gay.)  We gave her a quickie shower, she had said quickie marriage, and a divorce was filed within 24 hours of the wedding.   (Reason:  he was gay!)  Then one of the students she had working in the lab was this really skeevy guy she gave the key to the lab to so he could open and close.  Only he was coming in at 1am getting on IRC having hot and heavy chat sessions.  So I was directed to set up logging, and pass the transcripts on to the dean.  They were pretty repulsive-apparently he considered himself to be Mr. Hot and Sexy, neither of which he was by any stretch of the imagination.

The order came down to fire him, of course.   Then said guy had some serious balls (or delusions) and from what I understand threatened a lawsuit for wrongful termination (because manager had given him permission to do this.)  I'm not sure whatever happened to the case, but I do know the lab manager suddenly found another job on campus.   We then found out she spent 3/4 of the lab's budget within 4 months of the start of the fiscal year.    Almost 8 years later we're still finding things she screwed up.

I had a grad assistant from India.  I don't think this guy bathed, because he consistently smelled like a shat onion.  Fortunately though, I busted the guy in the lab looking at pr0n, so I was given a blessed reason to fire him, and then he wanted to argue with me about why he shouldn't be fired for that.  Thankfully, most of his rant was unintelligible, so I was able to stand my ground, and reclaim my clean smelling work area.

Working on campus, yeah, that's a whole other ballpark of batshit there.
