I was just about to put something similar.

My mate is married to a doctor, and she says her family can take the mick with every cough and sneeze they may have. Instead of going to their GP, they go to her.

Other thing that annoy me:

- Managers who keep work for themselves and don't share it out (knowledge is power and all that).

- Filling out change requests for the most insignificant of changes (and not just insignificant to myself).

- People who are unreliable.

- The PC brigade who feel that because I'm a different race to them, they can't tell me exactly how they feel towards me because I may put them on a racial harassment charge . If you don't like be because I'm an idiot, fine. But I will not interpret this as "you don't like be because I'm black". Say what you mean and mean what you say!

- Penny Smith, the newsreader on GMTV - Just because she was laying up under Rory Bremner many moons ago doesn't mean she can crack jokes all the time. If you're going to tell jokes whilst reading the news, please see to it that they are funny......

- Being likened to Dr Trueman from EastEnders. I didn't watch the programme while he was in it, but I've been told that this dude was as soft as a brush and made a couple of sisters run rings around him. Yeah, that's me........honest!!!

And here's the biggie - Office politics. Would love to work in an org where there were none. But is this planet an ideal world? Ummm...........nope.

Interchangable for the rest of the world Mike.





What annoys me? The feeling that your stomach has dropped out through your feet when you press the end exam now button even though you know that you did okay.

 

Eurgh, tell me about it!

Or on MS exams where you think you did well, press end exam and you've just nudged above 700, thinking christ that was close!

Qs

 

Friend of mine developed a defence to that "put a plaster on it", a clear and usually totally useless response when asked a medical question outside of work.

I've developed a response to computer problems asked outside of work, "my hourly rate is...."

 

classic!

I'm going to try this one. And if this doesn't put them off and I get given money, it's win-win.

 

For that, you can blame all those people who hold up the race card whenever possible. You're a good man for not falling into that trap.

 

People who try to run before they can walk. Hinting at those trying to get a nice easy route into IT thinking they can do MCSE or CCNA with hardly any experience.

 

Thank you, much appreciated.

 

people who say I want some advise, instead of I want some advice

 

have you tried turning it off, then back on again?

 

Are you refering to "powercycling"?

 

Dark Void Zero on my DSi XL. It's biblically difficult and it's only three levels long!

 

"Three times, just like you told me to."

 

Or as jeb says from jebs jobs, just pour tea into the power supply flush it right through.

 

That's one other thing that annoys me - users that blatantly lie and say they've tried something to resolve a problem of theirs, yet they haven't.

When I was doing desktop support, I would sometimes say "Have you restarted your PC?" And they would say "Of course I have. Can you come and see me asap please?" So I get there, restart the PC and their issue is fixed.

 

My users like to keep me running around, I regularly get asked questions which apparently require an immediate visit only to find out they've sorted it themselves by the time I've made it up the stairs

 

Start telling them you'll be there but it'll take 10 minutes. Give them a quick follow up call 5 minutes later and see what happens.

 

not getting the respect im due, that ive earned!

 

It's different when we restart it. We're techs. We've got the magic tech "juju". Computers are scared of us.
