@siringo said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
I'm about 99% sure that after almost 30 years of supporting end users, I just have no more patience left. I find myself almost immediately going for my sidearm instead of a deep breath and friendly demeanor.
The other day I had an end user ............ . . . . . .. ... . . .... . .. . I can't talk about. That night I drank too much.
Very much understand... I started in IT in 1990,.. but had already been working with computers for a few years...
Seen some crazy stupid things,.. and dealt with some of the densest end users,.. Best you can do is vent in a productive way, and move on... at least the best you can.

Target practice with said fire arm seems productive to me... and I do mean target practice, lol. I don't want to hear about @siringo in the news for shooting somebody.

@wrcombs - But you have a call logged for the hour that you were on the phone with them. Easy to prove.
and I have all my notes in the ticket that I closed, and Over all I spent 2 hours on the phone and in email dealing with this.
Nice work. Showing them up with professionalism is better for you than stooping to their level.
Thank you! It was good to fix their issue, and prove them wrong at the same time

That's the truth. I've known that printers suck, but I never knew how bad it could be until I've seen what our Citrix admins go through.

@black3dynamite I like the colored icons. I HATE the original autoplaying ad on top, and really HATE the 2nd autplaying trailer they just added two rows down.
