——————————————————————————–These are actual calls to technical support help desks… (Some of you may find this funny while others could possibly use this section as a reference)A woman called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer. The tech asked her if she was running it under Windows. The woman then responded, No, my desk is next to the door. But that is a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his is working fine.
——————————————————————————–Tech Support: How much free space do you have on your hard drive? Customer: Well, my wife likes to get up there on that Internet, and she downloaded ten hours of free space. Is that enough?
——————————————————————————–Overheard in a computer shop: Customer: Id like a mouse mat, please. Salesperson: Certainly sir, weve got a large variety. Customer: But will they be compatible with my computer?

Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 5:00 and then
bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is always refreshing.
If its really a rush job, run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes
to inquire how its going. That greatly aids my efficiency.
Always leave without telling anyone where youre going. It gives me a
chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.
If my arms are full of papers, boxes, books or supplies, dont open
the door for me. I need to learn how to function as a paraplegic and
opening doors is good training.
If you give me more than one job to do, dont tell me which is the
priority. Let me guess.
Do your best to keep me late. I like the office and really have
nowhere to go or anything to do.
If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. Leaks like that could
cost me a promotion.
If you dont like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular
in conversation.
If you have special instructions for a job, dont write them down. If
fact, save them until the job is
almost done.
Never introduce me to the people youre with. When you refer to them
later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.
Be nice to me only when the job Im doing for you could really change
your life.
Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and its nice
to know someone is less fortunate.
Wait until my yearly review and THEN tell me what my
goals SHOULD have been. Give me a mediocre performance rating
with a cost of living increase. Im not here for the money
anyway.
In our complex technical environment there are many opportunities for a
competent technical individual to be the subject of technical harassment.
Sometimes it can be so subtle that you may not even be aware you are being
harassed. Worse yet, you may inadvertently technically harass another person
by accident.
Following are some guidelines to help you determine if you are being
technically harassed.
If you are repeatedly asked the same technical question you may be the
victim of technical harassment. While it is most common to be asked the
question repeatedly within the same conversation, some instances have been
identified of habitual technical harassment. Habitual technical harassment is
not uncommon and has been known to exhibit group tendencies where members of a
group may ask the same question repeatedly. Untreated, these instances of
group technical harassment can continue for years.
If you are asked a technical question by a non-technical person and they do
not write your answer down it is likely the question is frivolous. Most
non-technical people are not capable of remembering a true technical answer
for more than 30 seconds.
If you are forced into a discussion where a person uses more than three
(3) buzzwords in one sentence the person is most likely a fake and you are
the unwitting victim of technical harassment. One note of caution, competent
technical people have been known to inadvertently use buzzwords after reading
mindless drivel like PC Week or LAN Times. If the person has been known to use
more common technical terms in the past such as stuff and things, they are
most likely victim of computer magazine brainwashing.
If during a troubleshooting session a person uses the term trick. For
example maybe we could trick the database into thinking it has been updated.
This is a sure sign of technical harassment.
If a person explains that a needed feature will be provided by a
vendor and that person is nontechnical then you are at risk of being
technically harassed. If you believe that person, you have definitely
been technically harassed, if you dont believe them you have only been
technically annoyed.
If when trying to resolve a technical problem with a product from a
vendor and you are instructed to call the salesman that sold you the
product you are being set up for technical harassment. It is a common
reaction for a non-technical person when they have purchased technical
equipment to call another non-technical person. The dialogue between two
nontechnical people usually provides some sense of comfort that they
arent the only ones who are confused.

A boy was watching his father, a pastor, write a sermon.
How do you know what to say? he asked.
Why, God tells me.
Oh, then why do you keep crossing things out?

From rec.humor.funny
Johnny, a very bright 5 year old, told his daddy hed like to have a baby brother and, along with his request, offered to do whatever he could to help. His dad, a very bright 35 year old, paused for a moment and then replied, Ill tell you what, Johnny, if you pray every day for two months for a baby brother, I guarantee that God will give you one! Johnny responded eagerly to his dads challenge and went to his bedroom early that night to start praying for a baby brother. He prayed every night for a whole month, but after that time, he began to get skeptical. He checked around the neighborhood and found out that what he thought was going to happen, had never occurred in the history of the neighborhood. You just dont pray for two months and then, whammo- a new baby brother. So, Johnny quit praying. After another month, Johnnys mother went to the hospital. When she came back home, Johnnys parents called him into the bedroom. He cautiously walked into the room, not expecting to find anything, and there was a little bundle lying right next to his mother. His dad pulled back the blanket and there was — not one baby brother, but two!! His mother had twins! Johnnys dad looked down at him and said, Now arent you glad you prayed? Johnny hesitated a little and then looked up at his dad and said, Yes, but arent you glad I quit when I did?

Three nuns were talking one sunny day in June.
The first nun said, I was cleaning in Fathers room the other day and do you know what I found? A bunch of pornographic magazines!
What did you do? the other nuns asked.
Well, of course I threw them in the trash, she replied.
The second nun said, Well, I can top that. I was in Fathers room putting away the laundry and I found a bunch of condoms!
Oh my! gasped the other nuns.
What did you do? they asked.
I poked holes in all of them! she replied.
The third nun fainted.
