Stupid CoWorkers

At my last job, I was a do-everything. I fixed the copier when the secretary added more paper to the ventilation slots. I explained to the custodians that vacuuming the small pile of nails, tacks, and wire would actually be BAD for the vacuum. But to this day, I still have arguments with my boss over one topic. She believes that if you sit too near or too long in front of a computer, it will give you cancer. I cannot convince her otherwise, simply because HER DOCTOR told her this, and therefore, it MUST be true. What the hell is the medical profession coming too???

Stupid CoWorkers

I had a colleague who was very messy. Half of his cubicle was a pile of junk that reached to the top of the cubicle. Whenever he wanted something, he would rummage through all the stuff, throwing things aside until he found it. One day I asked him to find a computer file for me that I’d erased by mistake. It was taking him a while, so I went to look over his shoulder. His desktop was an exact duplicate of his cubicle. It had a massive pile of icons in one corner, and he was furiously rummaging through them to uncover the right file.

Stupid Tech Support

Customer: “One of my friends gave me an ImageWriter printer and this keyboard. He said he gave me all the cables, but I can’t figure out how to connect them. Am I missing something?”

Tech Support: “Well, a computer would help.”

Customer: “You mean this keyboard isn’t a word processor?”

Tech Support: “No ma’am, its just an input device.”

Customer: “Then I need to buy a computer, right?”

Tech Support: “Yes.”

Customer: “Do you think I’ll need a monitor, too?”

Stupid Tech Support

I used to work for MacWarehouse as a tech support representative. One day a gentleman called who had never had a computer before. He was trying to set up his new system. I tried and I tried but I just couldn’t make him understand where to plug the cables in. Finally I looked up the details on his order. He had ordered top-of-the-line everything — monitor, keyboard, printer, modem, scanner, speakers, CD-ROM drive, external hard drive……except, he had not ordered the actual computer itself. No wonder the cables would not plug in anywhere.
