The Website is Down: Sales Guy vs Web Dude

Published by under Computers

This is so funny. This was emailed to me by a co-worker. Admittedly the language is a little rough, don’t watch if you are easily offended. This is so typical if you are a IT guy though. This guy does some classic moves like deleting your boss’s sent email so that you can claim he never sent an email to you. Setting a user’s desktop background to a picture of their desktop and then deleting all their icons. He used the same method that I used when I was a network admin to users when they would call. I would ask them if they had rebooted their machine even if it was something as simple as a missing icon or something. Another classic move is to use VNC or something similar to get into a user’s desktop while you are on the phone with them, and asking them to login. You can kindly add some additional characters while they are typing their password. You then berate them for their typing skills or their stupidity for forgetting their password. This will always bring laughs to anyone in the IT Dept. Granted it probably does not improve relations between IT and users, but it sure is funny.

Go Rove…

It’s about time that someone in the Bush Administration showed some onions. What in the world is Congress doing anyway? If they would pay as much attention to gas prices and drilling for our own oil; we wouldn’t be in the economic state we are in right now. This is such a non-issue that it is insane. Bill Clinton fired all 93 of the U.S. attorneys in March of ’93 and there was no Congressional investigation at that time. The U.S. attorneys serve at the whim and pleasure of the President of the United States, if the President wakes up in the morning with a little indigestion from a undercooked potato and he wants to fire all the Federal attorneys he has the Constitutional right to do so. “Congress, get a life and deal with some issues that matter”.
