The only co-worker's name I find on the AM list was an IT guy. They must be slaying 24/7.

Look my laptop is f$&ked, I have a bunch more miles to drive and six more customers that want to bitch at me because your website and phone system is f$&ed, I don't have time to go thru 43 steps over the phone to fix it.
Why can't I ever just send it back on the first call?
Look at this cocky country inn and suites platinum motherfricker

IT Groupies in the Workplace
12 yrs ago when we had 2 IT people, this was true. I have grown way past that shite, and I don't let it happen in the department either.
Now I am pretty much like... What do you want? We have shite to do.
At least in my IT department, we don't take near as much shite from the users as we used to. We are way too big a company now, and everyone is going to follow the damn rules.
I don't care if you have a new person that is starting today. You knew damn well he was coming at least 2 or 3 weeks ago. You fill out your request forms and wait your turn like everyone else.

Just fix my computer, tech boy. The people who actually make money for this company actually have things to do.

That would be Marriott but that's nothing to brag about.
Look, the server room overheated again last night.
The nightly software update crashed again.
Customers can't log into the website.
We have a problem with our third party shopping cart vendor.
The phone system has been at capacity for months, hold times keep going up.
The system lags all day and keeps logging of the customer service reps.
Old lady Besty, says she can't hear out of her headset again.
Can anyone of you It guys log off of Game of War and help Becky with her keyboard she spilled diet coke and Doritos on? Sorry for ruining your coffee break?
Ok, sure I guess putting together a team to look at the issues and report back if there are any issues in a few weeks, kinda makes sense.
Oh I'm only the tenth caller in the que today, great I love the soothing sounds of Kenny G.................. dial tone.... Disconnected after a 15 minute wait
Anyway, to all you it folks I'm joking, I feel bad for our it guys. I'll keep producing revenue and you keep the gears moving.
Here's a toast to all of the it folks.

People don't seem to understand the ticketing systems and why they have to wait their turn.. The common cliche my coworker and I use is "your emergency is not my emergency." I have 50 other things going on and because you came to me one day before your deadline with something that's going to take me several hours of work to accomplish doesn't mean I have to do it right here right now. If you submit your work on time and give me reasonable times to work with, we can both be happy.

If my emergency is a closing that's going to earn our company many, many multiples of your salary, it damn well better be your emergency too or you can come up with cutesy sayings with your new co-workers at your next job.

Nope, downtime is the price of progress. You want it your way, go to Burger King. Close on them Chicken Fries.

Yeah, sure. That's why they're paid less and share some cubicles down in the basement. Keep thinking of yourself like that. When you come to plug in my new monitor, I'll let you look at the view out of my office window.

That decision comes from my boss, not the salesman. If my boss tells me to prioritize that sale, then I'll do that. If not, then it goes in line. Also, if it's something huge and broken then I put on my proverbial firefighter hat and put out fires. But for typical day-to-day operation, it doesn't work that way.

I'm also not in a typical IT help desk position. I am a network administrator at an ISP. We have a separate department for the corporate help desk.

When we talk about that one guy in the office that everyone hates because he is nothing but a giant douche that thinks he is far more important than he actually is... Yep. That's him.
If you come to me with an actually emergency, and you are polite and reasonable about it, hey I'm here to help. You come at me with an attitude like I am beneath you, then your arse can wait at the back of the line.
