The jobs you just hate.

[ICT_GUY]

changing printer toners -- our campus at its longest is about 1km wide so ... yeah .. i need a monorail or tram or something!

 

SEGWAY FTW!

[maniac]

Anything to do with Wireless Networks :censored:

[Pottsey]

Meetings or more precisely getting ready for meetings and trying to explain technical stuff to none technical people. I was never was verygood at that.

 

My real pet hate are people who don’t try. I don’t care how bad someone is at computer use as long as they try. But it really bugs me when someone is able to do something but doesn’t bother to try and just shouts for help.

[katem]

Anything that involves finding out that the thing just needed:-

 

a) switching on

b) paper in it

c) checking the cable is in correctly

d) a bit of common sense!!

 

grrr teachers..

[witch]

Cleaning projector filters

sorting out the wireless laptops

Back up problems

 

INVENTORY!!!

I'll second you on that one - I get that a LOT here!!

Walking to the far side of the school because you've been informed that a computer wont boot only to find the F***ing teacher has her USB pen in and the PC is trying it's best to boot from that.:mad:

 

It could be said that that is your fault - you should set c: as first boot device in BIOS. I'm not sure I like the idea of kids being able to bring in bootable sticks and CDs and using them to either trash the system or get around security measures..

[Edu-IT]

I can't think of anything I really dislike doing. If I had to say something then probably cleaning projectors. It's not really that I dislike doing it, it's just not one of the easiest things to do.

[DrCheese]

Anything to do with wireless laptop trolley's

Changing printer toners on the other side of the school >.<

[flashsnaps]

Replacing keys on keyboards! Does my nut in!

[Inbir316]

I am a little board and I can’t sleep because its warm tonight so I thought I would post this.

 

What jobs do you hate doing at work?

 

I hate sorting out Printer & Projectors, anything else I don’t mind doing.

 

if you're bored and can't sleep try counting sheep lol

- SIMS updates

- Teachers who cant get their laptops running on projectors

- People rushing me to get certain software installed then don't use it for 6 months, then complain it doesn't work because its out of date again

[My220x]

Plugging in Ethernet cables.

[Sylv3r]

Plugging in Ethernet cables.

 

On a similar note - patching in patch panels.

Does my nut in too !! 300 laptops later and 9 out of 10 times its oh the key just happened to ping off or it flew off as I pressed it.

 

Which I doubt very much as i can press the keys pretty danged hard and they never ping off, Ive had to literally lever the keys off with a screw driver to make em go flying.

 

This is on Dell D520 Latitude laptops btw - at least in my case.

[elsiegee40]

Trying to remove any piece of equipment.

 

Someone always seems to have constructed a handy macrame hanging basket out of the cabling and getting it out without loosening the wires to every other electrical appliance in the room is impossible !

I agree with that one! I'm still missing a couple of keys on my laptop because they broke when I was trying to reattach them. A few swear words were said that night.

[mijenk]

I hate the fact that NO asset tracking has been done in the 13 years that this school has had a network, and I now have the task of tracking what hardware, and software is in the school.

 

Where is it.

Who owns it. . . . you must know how possessive teachers get over a mouse.

How much it cost then.

What is it worth now.

Life Expectancy.

Do we have a license for it. . . No... Oooo. . . Have to uninstall that software you use every day!!! Ooops... yes I actually do that....

 

And so it goes on.....

 

Lets just say this job makes me say.. .. :censored: :censored: :censored:

[RabbieBurns]

There is absolutely no asset tracking here whatsoever either, its unbelievable really.
