Yeah I did it at tafe.

And no its not like a massive thing, im actually the only tech support guy (There is I.T Manager & Network Engineer), its not a huge multilevel office.

I dont have to take calls from people outside the office and the office looked like it had about 50-60 staff.

Just prepare yourself for the following helpdesk query:

"My computer is running slow!!"

Causes:
- 10%: User has too much crap running in the background.
- 90%: User sees other employee get a new laptop, decides they want that one instead so complains theirs is crap.

Rest assured, the worst line an IT guy can get is: "I can't print!"

To which my response is usually "Do I look like a printer technician?"

We use big Olympus copiers / printers at work. A few weeks back we had a paper jam in a location where we needed a technician to come out and disassemble part of the printer (as in with a screwdriver, not just popping off plastic bits) to clear up the jam.

Man I hate printers.
Me? Bitter? f**k no. I think it's hilarious.

They say your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.

Unfortunately for Steve Jobs, he hadn't got a Flash player installed.
