Power Down
This morning, I had to call the I.T. Help Desk.
ITHD: What.
PW: I can't get my Lotus Notes to open.
ITHD: Reboot.
PW: I did.
ITHD: Did you power down or just restart?
PW: Restart.
ITHD: Power down.
Moments later...
PW: It still won't open.
ITHD: You powered all the way down?
PW: Yes. Can you just send Doogie?
ITHD: He's out sick. Everybody's out today. I'll call Doogie at home.
PW: Tell him I changed my password yesterday, if that has anything to do with it.
ITHD: You changed your Lotus Notes password?!
PW: Yeah.
ITHD: I didn't know you could do that!
PW: Oh... Well, that's probably it then.

Your first mistake? Calling the help desk.

You never want the geeks to say...
"I didn't know you could do that."
Or the doctor to say....
"Whoa, I've never seen that before."

I love the fact that you thought to reboot before calling tech support. That and the fact that you're willing to suggest it might be your fault proves that you are way smarter than 99% of the lusers out there.

Watch it there, Marty boy. This little wench in training is sitting at such a help desk right now... not all of us are mental midgets.
