...because we want to know, not for us, but y'know. So my boss is one of only two men in my small little help desk area, and he's a riot. If I can ever get the chance to record one of the conversations between him and my ex-neighbor in the back, I will share with… Continue reading Are You Available?

Taking A Break
...because I've got nothing for you today. We've been busy the past week. Like, phones ringing off the damn hooks crazy busy. Like, I don't have time to write a My Geekdom post for today freakin' busy. Like, I'm typing this right now during a rare lull in calls insanely busy and I'm hoping I… Continue reading Taking A Break
I’m Already Here
...so I can just change my contract, right? Friday, April 4th, I had an impromptu interview with the Director of my ginormous department because I had applied to have my contract changed to the full year one. Right now, I'm on the same schedule as the students, and that'd be great to have summers off… Continue reading I’m Already Here
Hey Chickadee
...oh you're gonna love this cuteness. First thing Monday morning, my ex-neighbor co-worker (I've been moved to the front) informed me that she'd bought a chicken coup over the weekend so she can have fresh eggs. Of course, it'll be a while before that happens because THIS: How damn cute is that? Right? And, of… Continue reading Hey Chickadee
Loud Noises
...make me giggle, and I'll tell you why... Every time someone calls in a copier or printer because it's making "loud noises," I have to stifle a giggle because all I hear is this... . Now, I'm on vacation and not even awake yet when you read this. Be jealous. Have a lovely day. *grins*
In a Hurry Much?
...and now you can't login to your computer or website. People, slow down when typing your passwords before calling me to tell me you can't login. You'll get it wrong several times. Hell, I get it wrong at times simply because I'm in a hurry, rushing to get that password in so I can move to… Continue reading In a Hurry Much?
Y’know, It’d Be Nice…
...if the guys who dip their fingers into the network and systems would freakin' tell the rest of us just what in the hell they're doing once in a while. You know what I'm talking about if you work in IT. Programmers, et. al., don't bother to tell you "oh hey, by the way, we… Continue reading Y’know, It’d Be Nice…
Ready, Aim, Fire!
Last week, during a rare lull in calls, one of my co-workers broke out the Nerf guns. She, of course, aimed into the boss's office first. You try to not scream when one of those bullets comes flying over the cubicle wall at you while you're on the phone. Of course, you realize, this means… Continue reading Ready, Aim, Fire!
Hilarity Ensues…
...in the form of ignorance when it comes to computers. So last week, I heard this from another cubicle: "There is a physical power button, ma'am . . . no, not the dell logo." And this was my reaction... It gets better... "Ma'am, what kind of computer is it? No. Do you have a tower?… Continue reading Hilarity Ensues…
A Case of the Monday…
...stupids. No, really. Pay attention. "No, ma'am, the screen is the monitor." Listening in on a co-worker's call this past week proved more fruitful for post ideas. It's also making me laugh hysterically in my little cubicle in the corner in conjunction with the calls I'm getting. Like the person I just talked to. They didn't have… Continue reading A Case of the Monday…
