This discussion was about an IT support person's frustration where: "User's laptop not charging on docking station. Investigated issue: user's power strip was turned off. Switched power strip on; issue resolved. A ticket from today. They came to me and I asked them if it was turned on, and they said yes. They were wrong."

Me Looks pretty good to me, but I've seen some truly horrendous ones, so maybe I'm not a good judge.

Me So pleased I did a computer science degree so I can switch on power, remind people what their password is, restart their computer, etc.
The IT Humour and Memes group can be pretty entertaining. We usually share the frustrations of our work, but sometimes it can get more argumentative, especially if a PC versus Mac or Linux war erupts!
