Some Files Are Better Left Unshared
By Joe Gillen

While working for a Fortune 500 company as a contractor doing a Windows NT 4.0 Workstation rollout, I was given the assignment of preparing a laptop for a company vice president (VP) who had just returned from an expatriate assignment in South Africa. After fighting with a brand-new, nonstandard laptop that did not yet have the required NT drivers (of course, it was top of the line and newer than everyone else’s), I dropped it off and gave him instructions on its use. When he wanted to know every function of every button and shortcut, I showed him.

The next morning, the VP wanted to know why 3 gigabytes of his 10-gigabyte hard drive was used up. I explained that the operating system and standard applications take up a lot of room. This explanation was not good enough. He wanted me to go into Windows Explorer and show him each file—what its function was and why it was necessary. This VP had a meticulous character—it showed in his office, his desk with everything lined up perfectly, and his crisp, perfect speech.

Dutifully and laboriously, I went file by file giving him an explanation on each item until we got to the Temporary Internet files in his profile. (I promised a follow-up on the ones I was unsure of.) It seemed that when he tried out his new Internet connection, he had researched a “social” medical condition he had picked up on his travels. After a brief and embarrassing pause, we concluded the session—with no need for a follow-up.

Aningen pinsamt kanske? ;)

Den här fick mig att skratta högt:

Employee of the Month

By Dan Clark

While working for a large financial corporation in St. Louis, I received a call from our 2nd-level IT support at 1:30 A.M. on a Thursday. A customer in Chicago had a very important report due at 8:00 the following morning, his computer had locked up, and he could not get it to reboot.

So I drive the 25 miles in to work to help the customer. I get to the office and talk to the help desk and 2nd-level support to find out what troubleshooting steps had already been taken. They tell me they had the customer reboot, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and even unplug the computer, but nothing would work.

I call the customer, who is by now in a panic and thinking he will be fired the next day because he waited till the last minute to get his report done and did not finish. I ask him to tell me exactly what is on his screen, and he says it is his report and it is frozen solid. I tell him to hold in the power button on the computer for about five seconds until the screen goes blank. He does this and then I tell him to push the power button again and tell me what is on his screen. He tells me his report is still on the screen in the exact place before he powered down the computer.

You have to remember this has gone thru 1st-level and 2nd-level support and they have been working with the customer for over three hours on the issue. It turns out he had been turning his monitor on and off for three hours. I told him how to reboot the computer and everything started working fine. About a week later the customer sent a letter to my manager telling of my vast expertise in fixing computers. I was named Employee of the Month for this.
