When you have to give him remote access to install the new endpoint ~~injection~~ protection
Is this dependency injection?
Your comment is incredible and I want to thank you for it, because now I will use it to tease my Java coworkers until the end of time
That's a party!
Whos the artist? It's better than a Chick tract.
Stephen Sawyer I guess
Yeah, that's me. Patrike Swayzee virtually wrapping my flabby arms around your two sizes too small discount fabric office wheelie chair with a leaky piston. Our mutual guts not even getting in the way because of the wonders of virtual scream manipulation.
I don't even brush the encrusted dead skin cells off your keys down into your Dorito/Cheeto dust filled keyboard as I quietly close page after page of WebMD, Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter to get the CPU to a baseline so I can find out what's causing high utilization. Hint: it's probably that "free poker" application you downloaded on Friday that's trying to do a combination of Bitcoin mining and key logging, or maybe that free "AI chat friend" that wants nothing but your well-being and for some "unknown" reason, the last four of your social security number.
Rest assured, at the end of the call, I will tell you once again not to download stupid non-work related crap, and assure you that I can't see your screen (nor whould I want to) at any point during the day without the little badge popping up in the lower right hand corner saying I'm looking at your screen. I mean, it's a lie I totally could for sure make your box send me a screenshot but that is literally the last thing I would want to see in a day here.
It's just a modern day love story...
If it helps I've never done the slightest thing like that haha.
Don't worry baby, I'll ease you through it ... /s
No, that is not realistic, I know he is wearing a furry suit & I'm def picturing it that way.
This is why I always insist on having the IT guy stop by in-person.
Dude you and me got different kinks entirely.
You should try this with people washing their hands in the bathroom, works 100% of the time.
Do it with men as they use the urinals. Make sure to give them a gentle smooch on the cheek while you do. Just to be friendly.
Okay so I know not to ask any Patricks or ghosts to do pottery with me from behind. Hate when someone else controls my desktop remotely
Always be ready
One of the reasons I quit my last job.
Hmmm why is Swayze cuddling Maxwell?
Maxwell still stuck in that mid nineties style.
Reminds me of the Atlassian April fools bit about pair programming: https://www.wsj.com/video/spoof-video-on-pair-programming/A94C0B19-D1CC-4930-9DB3-00F03BD76BB9
I take it as a break. Hang out on my phone and let them figure it out.
As somebody who works in service desk, we love it when the users let us work away. Don’t go too far though, I might need you on standby to enter your creds
I don't do support like that anymore, but I hated users dropping off their laptop and stating they would be back after their one hour meeting only for you to need their credentials within 2 minutes and the person not showing back up for several hours, to then complain it's not fixed. And no, I refused to reset their password without consent. Usually they wouldn't even give you the time to ask for that.
Ugh... There's this sales / tech guy for this atrocious software I have to use. Everytime I have an issue and report it to him, he's like "Oh, give me remote access and let me see if I can fix it right away."
Dude... You have full access to my terminal server and in general the issues I report are not specific to my user account. So please let me work and do your thing without bothering me. When you have a lead and need my input please report back to me.
But the more obtrusive his support is the harder you work to sort out your own problems.
And if he doesn't log at least 6 hours worth of work, there's either going to be every structure or maybe they'll offshore his support.
Holy Christ, I hope not!
