When you call us to have your computer moved, be> sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards,> baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, bowling> trophies and children's art. We don't have a life,> and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting> glimpse of yours.>> 2. Don't write anything down. Ever. We can play back> the error messages from here.>> 3. When an IT person says he's coming right over, go> for coffee. That way you won't be there when we need> your password. It's nothing for us to remember 300> screensaver passwords.>> 4. When you call the help desk, state what you want,> not what's keeping you from getting it. We don't need> to know that you can't get into your mail because your> computer won't power on at all.>> 5. When IT Support sends you an email with high> importance, delete it at once. We're just testing.>> 6. When an IT person is eating lunch at his desk, walk> right in and spill your guts right out. We exist only> to serve.>> 7. Send urgent email all in uppercase. The mail server> picks it up and flags it as a rush delivery.>> 8. When the photocopier doesn't work, call computer> support. There's electronics in it.>> 9. When you're getting a NO DIAL TONE message at home,> call computer support. We can fix your telephone line> from here.>> 10. When you have a dozen old computer screens to get> rid of, call computer support. We're collectors.>> 11. When something's wrong with your home PC, dump it> on an IT person's chair with no name, no phone number> and no description of the problem. We love a puzzle.>> 12. When an IT person tells you that computer screens> don't have cartridges in them, argue. We love a good> argument.>> 13. When an IT person tells you that he'll be there> shortly, reply in a scathing tone of voice: "And just> how many weeks do you mean by shortly?" That> motivates us.>> 14. When the printer won't print, re-send the job at> least 20 times. Print jobs frequently get sucked into> black holes.>> 15. When the printer still won't print after 20 tries,> send the job to all 68 printers in the company. One of> them is bound to work.>> 16. Don't learn the proper name for anything> technical. We know exactly what you mean by "my thingy> blew up".>> 17. Don't use online help. Online help is for wimps.>> 18. If the mouse cable keeps knocking down the framed> picture of your dog, lift the computer and stuff the> cable under it. Mouse cables were designed to have> 20kg of computer sitting on top of them.>> 19. If the space bar on your keyboard doesn't work,> blame it on the mail upgrade. Keyboards are actually> very happy with half a pound of muffin crumbs and nail> clippings in them.>> 20. When you get a message saying "Are you sure?"> click on that Yes button as fast as you can. Hell, if> you weren't sure, you wouldn't be doing it, would you?>> 21. When you find an IT person on the phone with his> bank, sit uninvited on the corner of his desk and> stare at him until he hangs up. We don't have any> money to speak of anyway.>> 22. Feel perfectly free to say things like "I don't> know nothing about that computer rubbish." We don't> mind at all hearing our area of professional expertise> referred to as rubbish.>> 23. When you need to change the toner cartridge in a> printer, call IT Support. Changing a toner cartridge> is an extremely complex task, and Hewlett-Packard> recommends that it be performed only by a professional> engineer with a master's degree in nuclear physics.>> 24. When you can't find someone in the government> directory, call IT Support.>> 25. When you have a lock to pick on an old file> cabinet, call IT Support. We love to hack.>> 26. When something's the matter with your computer,> ask your secretary to call the help desk. We enjoy the> challenge of having to deal with a third party who> doesn't know anything about the problem.>> 27. When you receive a 30mb (huge) movie file, send it> to everyone as a mail attachment. We've got lots of> disk space on that mail server.>> 28. Don't even think of breaking large print jobs down> into smaller chunks. Somebody else might get a chance> to squeeze a memo into the queue.>> 29. When an IT person gets on the elevator pushing> $600,000 worth of computer equipment on a cart, ask in> a very loud voice: "Good grief, you take the elevator> to go DOWN one floor?!?" That's another one that> cracks us up no end.>> 30. When you lose your car keys, send an email to the> entire company. People out in Pofadder like to keep> abreast of what's going on.>> 31. When you bump into an IT person at the grocery> store on a Saturday, ask a computer question. We do> weekends.>> 32. Don't bother to tell us when you move computers> around on your own. Computer names are just a cosmetic> feature.>> 33. When you bring your own personal home PC for> repair at the office, leave the documentation at home.> We'll find all the settings and drivers somewhere.....
