  • I miss my IT days, they were fun. I once saw a USB flashdrive taped to a postcard. It was the old owners friend who had sent him pictures from a meet up.

    I loved it. The old guy wanted to send pictures. And send them he did.

    Also did my last favor for a guy who needed a long ethernet cable for something at home, I said sure, but we need it back by next week. He never returned it. So I told him “I’m not gonna argue, either it’s on my desk tomorrow or I’ll send your department an invoice so we can buy a new one.”

    It was on my desk next day in a tangled pile.


  • We installed remote access on all employee computers. Among other details, it allowed us to see machine uptime.

    I would tell certain people/liars that I’ll fix their problems over lunch and to make sure they save all work before leaving.

    Then as lunch came along, I’d just remotely reboot their computer.

    Fun fact. “The IT Crowd” is actually a documentary.
