I've Always Wanted to Ask This

If you're having a computer problem, why would you ever have one of your co-workers call in on your behalf?

If you do, I hope you realize just how difficult third-party troubleshooting is.

Point is, if you can tell your co-worker about the IT problem you're having, you can pick up the damn phone and call the help desk. :mad:

This must be the same impulse that drives people to seemingly pluck random strangers off the street to order pizza for them.

You make being a doctor sound so glamorous!

You know, I like my job by and large.

But this is my biggest pet peeve.

Next to people who can't follow simple directions. I don't expect you to be a techno whiz. I understand that sometimes, you need a tech to 'hold your hand' through doing something new with a computer.

But for the love of God, don't ask your co-worker to call in on your behalf and when I give you a simple set of directions, follow them.
