    Default You know you're in trouble when...

    Your office IT professional can't seem to use the photocopier.
    There's nothing more expensive than a "free" boat.

    Too specialised.
    It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

    I don't blame em. A photocopier doesn't rely on high technology, the only thing that can make one of those things work properly is dark magic and sacrifice.
    I'll just take my chances with those salt water joys.

    Well, if the guy was trying to do something complicated, it would have been understandable. However, 15 minutes to try to get a copy of a couple of things was outta hand.

    Your own wife starts a thread calling your sorry ass out in the bilge. . .
    I never learned from a man who agreed with me.

    He's a conversation I had with our IT guy this week:

    Me: [long detailed explanation including error codes]

    IT guy: "Hm"

    Me: I did >>> a..... >>>>> b..... >>>>> and got <<<<<< ////// and got error code whatever

    IT guy: "Hm"

    Me: So I did ..... <<<<< ***** and ______ and got error code whatever

    IT guy: "Well that's odd"

    Me: "No **** Sherlock"

    IT guy (getting attitude): "Well you don't have to be huffy"

    Me (giving him a slight taste of huffy): *&(8******$$$%%!

    Actually, I didn't say that. I just went around to everyone's desk and got their list of error and fixed 90% of them, called the guy back and told him problems 1-whatever were resolved.

    It's IT support like that which has brought about our own internal "Self Help Group" for computer users.
