Tech Stories

1. How badly do you want it? If I drop by because you opened a ticket on a laptop (an act you've procrastinated on for a month because I wouldn't just 'fix' it for you without a ticket) ... dissapear to go do 'other things' without answering questions I ask on the issue ("didn't you read the ticket? They included a screenshot") ... and only show up to inquire "Is it fixed yet?" ... and finally take the laptop away from me because you have to go to a meeting and you MUST have the laptop with you (OMG! Deadlines!) .... your laptop ain't getting fixed lady. [By: C4Cypher] Comment on Story Comments She b0RXX3D that bridge. -Seamus All together now: "Poor planning on your part..." -MisterCommon

2. Relevant Info Greetings, first time posting, TSC has made my life a better, brighter place. SF pages me over the PA system, rather than contacting the 1st line desk like he's supposed to. Workfloor personell are not usually tech savvy but good at what they do, so they get a lot more slack then the office SF, so I decide to head over to the area anyway and see what I can do. Machine in question is an old label printer, constantly feeding out blank labels as if the 'feed' button was stuck. 20 minutes of troubleshooting passes (I think it's a network issue at first) before I found out the workfloor SF (a rarity, they're usually more competent than the office people, if not tech savvy) just reloaded the label spool, somthing he neglected to tell me of beforehand. Turns out he loaded it wrong. I'm not going to Lart somone for doing somthing a bit dumb, but please, tell me so I can fix it! In other news, I learned that certain models of HP printers 'steam' if fed moist (florida humid, not wet) paper. It's been a wierd day.

WHY IS THE RUM GONE!??! -unrenowned
