Random statements heard in passing.
Todays IT lesson…
Make-It-So-Mike: “The image is hosed.“
Corvette-Crazy: “What do you mean the image is hosed?”
Make-It-So-Mike: “The image is hosed…”
Corvette-Crazy: “You’re an IT professional! Use your words! Hosed isn’t an answer!”
IT professional have words. ‘Hosed’ is not one of those words!

And today’s winner goes to…
User: “Help! All my icons are missing!”
Make-it-so-Mike: “There’s no extra charge for that…”
User: “Oh you’re funny! But no, one minute they were there…then I saw a blur and now they’re gone. I was going to reboot but, I didn’t want to break it further.”
Corvette-Crazy and I: *Laughing like crazy*
Make-it-so-Mike: “Let’s go take a look…”
Make-it-so-Mike: *returns*
Corvette-Crazy and I: “Soo??”
Make-it-so-Mike: “…she some how hid her icons…”
The look on a users face when something unexpected happens and, IT doesn’t take it as serious as they believe they should…
It is the little things which amuse us.

Co-Worker explaining IT to another departments employee…
“IT people have it genetically programmed into their brain to say ‘NO!’ to any question.”
So, that’s why I always say no when someone offers me a donut. Here I thought it was just because I didn’t want one….

The statement of the day brought to you by Mr. Corvette-Crazy. Artistic drawing of Mr. Corvette-Crazy courtesy of Magnificent-Marge (she did give him more hair then he generally has – she’s always the optimist!).
And no, he never did give her permission to draw him…but she is a bit of a rebel. 🙂

And today’s statement from Corvette-Crazy while on the phone with Make-it-so-Mike….
“Your desktops weren’t ready. So I reverted. OH! And, your directions have a word wrong!“
One word!
The desktops not being ready, and a reversion, eh, no big deal. But, one word wrong in the directions and the world ends!

As I get older, my ability to hold my tongue is ranking up there with my ability to reach things on the top shelf.
I just can’t seem to get either one done.
I may have to start relying on my good looks.

Working along. Writing a query. Headphones on and I hear….
“When you’re done, you have to pull the rubber off. Just grab it at the top. It’s easier to remove that way; and less messy.”
The person then gets up and quietly walks away.
Please tell me I am not the only one who is questioning the contents of the rest of the conversation?
I almost…almost….want to ask who they were talking to…almost!
