Techy Fun: When I ask you to do something, do it

As I’m in the process of slowing shutting down other sites I’ve worked on (due to time constraints), I’m reposting them here. Here’s an article from “Behind The Frontline” which was going to be a cross between I Work With Fools, Worse Than Failure and Dilbert.

We recently had a piece of equipment which when I plugged it in, it fused the power supply turning all the electricity to the building off. Anyway, I have a look at it and replace its own fuse. Just before I plugged it in again, I asked everybody to make sure they’ve saved their work. Everybody says “OK” so I plug it back in and it turns the power off again (obviously faulty then). Then somebody moans “But I didn’t save my work…”

Peon: “Hi, I called last week – do you remember me”
Me: “I handle over 50 calls a day from several thousand customers along with a number of helpdesk tickets from all sorts of strange people. You do NOT want to be the one person I remember a week later…”

(I haven’t said that yet, but there’s still time 😉 )
