Disaster Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 fixing this wobbly table? This is what a member of staff asked me, straight faced, in the staff room this break time! too. many. responses. can't. compute. Have a good weekend
Disaster Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 nar the top was wobbly. Couldn't be bothered to even go near it but I assume it would have needed a screwdriver or some glue..
sted Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 got asked to fix a toaster once.... its got a plug what more do you need for it to be IT's problem?
Disaster Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 got asked to fix a toaster once.... At least that has electricity and that. A table. Crumbs. Should take it as a compliment I suppose, I reckon she assumes that we must be able to fix anything! (I could have fixed the table but I wanted to eat my chicken more)
Disaster Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 I had to unblock a vacuum cleaner. Blimey, that's dedication. I'd be going nowhere near unblocking a hoover. Unless it was requested by an attractive lady who was in need. ahem. 1
Hightower Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 got asked to fix a toaster once.... Hmmm, techs get asked to fix anything with electricity..... At least that has electricity and that. A table. Crumbs. Should take it as a compliment I suppose, I reckon she assumes that we must be able to fix anything! (I could have fixed the table but I wanted to eat my chicken more) .... the table needs fixing...... .... wire the table up to use electricity, thus fixing it (as far as you're concerned) and hopefully giving the person in question a good shock the next time he/she 'wobbles' it.
mac_shinobi Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Hmmm, techs get asked to fix anything with electricity..... When I was working in edu - I had to fix a 2nd hand PS 2 that was purchased from ebay One soldering iron + Solder from the science department Screw drivers etc that were in the I.T Department - side bench in the Server Room Stripped it apart, had to un solder the mains connectors and re solder them in, put it back together and job was a good one Worked fine and I could then try and move the power lead at the back without the PS 2 randomly turning itself off or anything. Not related to this thread or anything but just noticed I have a star
Dos_Box Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Wobbly table? Did I hear you say wobbly table? I have the wobblyest shelves in the world here in the Edugeek office. The MFD is mounted on top of it and when anything goes to print, well, lets just say it looks spectacular as Ric and Shaun found out last week I'll get some footage up for you all in the near future as it is well worth a giggle!
Jawloms Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Just tell them to turn it off and on again cos that's all we IT technicians do anyway...................
AyatollahPies Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I had to unblock a vacuum cleaner. That sucks. ;-)
SteveBentley Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I had to unblock a vacuum cleaner. Was it a Microsoft Vacuum Cleaner? The only product they ever sold that didn't suck.
K.C.Leblanc Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Was it a Microsoft Vacuum Cleaner? The only product they ever sold that didn't suck. No it was a Henry.
LosOjos Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I.T Did afterwards "I said don't disturb me while I'm cleaning my room!" - Doofy 1
Admiral208 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 a teacher once said to me completly straight faced, "can you take a look at this broken tape player, i dont know if this comes under your remit... but its got a plug"!! I could have punched her straight in the face. Told her I wasnt allowed to touch it and she should speak to the HT about getting it repaired.
K.C.Leblanc Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Blimey, that's dedication. I'd be going nowhere near unblocking a hoover. Unless it was requested by an attractive lady who was in need. ahem. I was helping the caretaker out.
