LIBERATED HAGGS
Man! I was just in this office of old women, 45+. Most had never married, bitter at men because not one would touch them even with a sterile rubber doggie toy, and not one of those womem could use a computer.
My task - to solve thier IT problems? HELP!
Experience 1: No matter how I talk to them, or attempt to explain how to use the applications - I am talking down to them? They get mad and seemed to be overwhelmed at every little detail.
Experience 2: MAS90 the accounting package has a few canned reports but most reports need to be generated from Crystal Reports and customized. The business manager is 53 yrs old and states she is not going to learn how to customize reports. The owners will not take action. Yet I am to solve thier reporting issues? Oh because they are scared I may find out too much about thier business I cannot access the software.
Experience 3: One 48 yr old migrain prone braless women keeps calling me into her cubical and bending over so her sweater hangs low - about where her deflated sagging prides are. After vomiting I realize there really is not a IT issue in her cube and leave.
Experience 4: All of them want a picture of their cats and themselves for a wallpaper. Fed up with this crap I posted a picture one morning of an ugly cat with his fangs showing on all the PC's! I was chastized as mean. I thought it was hilarious.
Experience 5: I set the bios on all machines at 2100 to safe shut down. At 0500 all PC's boot and run a maintenance script. It was announced to leave all PC's running when leaving work for the day. Of course most of them decided on thier own to do thier own thing and complain that thier machines are not being maintained. The script scans the disk, defrags, virus checks, and clears temp files and junk files from the local drive. It also downloads driver and signature updates.
What am I to do? Its a one man show.
