I still sport my old Think Geek T-Shirt: ‘No I Will Not Fix Your Computer’ to family functions.
The IT guy plight is real.
“Haha that shirt is funny. Anyway I have this brand new 7 year old HP laptop and suddenly it’s all sluggish and when I try to open another chrome tab it freezes for a few minutes.”
Gotta update the back with
“And neither the printer will get fixed”
Its a WiFi inkjet printer you say? You haven’t used it in six months you say?
Please Shoot!
Shoot
First me then the printer
Printer first. Let the guy die with some sense of satisfaction. What are we? Monsters?
I used to work as it support and i still have nightmares from the customers’ printer problems.
He looks like he works in IT.
Looking at printers is how I got into tech maintenance
Eh I never minded. I preferred printer problems. Fixing the default printing source made me cool. Downloading a driver or pointing a user to the right network printer made me a hero. Replacing a roller or a fuser so the printer stopped jamming elevated me to legendary. Much more relaxing then fixing someone’s janky SQL “formula” because their “excel is broken.”
