I hate people who use the large networks I administer who REFUSE to RTFM on how to do something.
They REFUSE to learn how and why something doesn't work and will forever be plebes. Such is the
life of a Network Engineer. DO NOT GO INTO THIS CAREER FIELD !! WARNING !!! You will never run
out of idiots who will turn your world into a living hell.
2 examples last month:
One client had printer issues, which amounted to just a paper jam. He ordered a brand new printer....JEEBUS!!
One lady I was with on the phone was having network issues and I was working her through it. I told her to
"right click on the desktop". She said "nothing is happening". I finally got it out of her that she had taken her
freakin pen and wrote the word "click" on her notepad on her desk!!! I remotely connected to her PC and she
had also for some god awful reason changed the name of her My Computer icon to Click. THIS IS NO URBAN
LEGEND! Beware the user!!!!:P
