I don't remember seeing it before, but as someone who goes out of his way *not* to be like that, I'm frankly offended.

I choose only to hear the bits about not acting as if you are the only person on the planet, being grateful to the IT person who turns up and befriending the IT personnel...
the rest?

meh...

I'd rather have friends on their own terms than because they think I might be useful.

Thats why I treat co-workers as just that, there good to talk to but I do question there motives some time

Also yes silly semi-offensive video. Although he is right on some fronts, if someone blames us then chances are they won't be seeing us soon, and if they have some sort of technical knowledge (and the permissions) we will tell them how to solve there problem themselves there and then (usually printer troubles)
