IT SupportOur IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

A little work based relaxationBack in the mists of time (about 4 or 5 years ago) I worked in the IT department for a failing healthcare company. My team 'leader' was a fat foolish man who only occasionally came into the office. I didn't really care for the job and I was only there as it was close to home and easy, and I guess I was just lazy.
For example:
* Tired? Go into the server room and fall asleep behind a rack of servers. Mmmm warm.
* Bored? Time to go to the unused office with the contractor and play football with a large roll of tissue paper, or frisbee CD's about the place.
* Angry at the failure of a boss? Again with the frisbee CD's only with a bit more thrust.
* Simply can't be arsed? Go to lunch 5 minutes after the boss and saunter in about an hour and 45 minutes later, claiming you went just before he got back.
Upgrade time! Sending malicious packets to the file server to make it crash, which usually resulted in one of the above, plus putting a request in to the IT director for spanky new hardware with all the extras. It arrived a week later. Result!
