Cabinets have Computer Chips
November 10th, 2009My first call today on the I.T. Desk.
This woman phoned up. She’d lost the key to her pedestal, which is the small movable drawer thing we have under our desks to keep a big pile of crap in that really doesn’t have anything to do with work and everything to do with packets of biscuits.
She had actually phoned facilities at first, domain of the men with brisk walks and cheery whistles. They’re the exact sort of people you’d expect to be good in these kind of situations. In fact, she knew this which is why she called them last time it happened but this time held a scary new change…
They’d added a voiceover with choices to pick before you went through. (Two choices). This was too much for her clearly and she panicked! unable to hear the specific of “have you lost your pedestal key) she just went and hung up. One might wonder why she didn’t just boldly go ahead and pick one of them thereby giving her a 50/50 chance to do the correct thing ?(two choices) Well it’s because she’s a chimp obviously.
So she hung up and phoned I.T.
The computer people.
Explaining that she didn’t know what choice to pick (two choices) so phoned us. I didn’t know. WHY the f*ck would I know? What I did know is that a pedestal is not a piece of I.T. equipment. It’s not even close, there are very few small wooden cabinets that are ridden with computer chips.
I have absolutely no idea why she thought that would go well for her…
