it’s always exciting when you think your flight is actually going to leave on time. you are boarding.
and then you think you’re going to leave when they make some announcement about a delay.
so you’re thinking to yourself. seriously what could this be?
but i am willing to bet that even with all the possibilities that crossed your mind. having the police come on the plane and escort someone out was not one of them.
yeah, folks it’s pretty impressive when you’re so intoxicated that you are threatening members of the flight crew. i mean honestly, as if flying isn’t enough of a pain why would you go and threaten the flight crew?
personally, i say be nice to the flight crew and maybe they’ll give you a free drink 😉

it’s always those fantastic early morning calls.
because clearly it is always the IT department changin’ stuff up on ya.
or it could just be that the cable is not connected.
it can’t be that simple? or it can.

commence the morning by unlocking the deadbolt.
then go to ikea
stand in front of door with IKEA crap and the key won’t go in… note the key on the inside of the door that you forgot about.
call international locksmith … please wait 3 hours
of course locksmith 30 mins late
locksmith pops open door with cardboard (like magic)… in about 20 secs
please pay $75
punch you in the face.

um, not. well, try explaining that to my mom. i mean what was i thinking enjoying my saturday afternoon by reading on the couch.
though it may be embarrassing to admit the number of times i have not been expecting to be global IT support. note i live thousands of miles from home (and have for the last almost 10 years) as depicted here.
and then it’s awesome when they can’t follow instructions. i’d like to note my mom is *not* computer illiterate, i have seen her be quite self sufficient… until i started my career in IT. (big mistake)
insert <headdesk> moment here.
and then when it’s all over. it’s like that was the easiest and not frustrating thing ever… um to them.

because you know you can *never* say what you really feel at work. especially when you’re talking to HR.
is it just me or does HR always seem to think that they’re being reasonable when really…
and then you try to help and it always, always goes oh so well.
especially when clearly they just want you to do something for them that is not really in the realm of what you do because they are “too busy” to tell you that maybe some new people will be hired. clearly IT does not need to know that. we’re not the ones who set up all your accounts, give you building access or get your email ready or anything like that.
and it’s even better when they are totally listening at the quarterly meeting when you’re talking about what you need to happen in order to keep up with the way things are going.
but you know we’re IT so we can “magically” make things happen… right?
right.
