Divisions and Precisions

Heh heh. Let me revel

Heh heh. Let me revel in my geekness for a moment. We have a bunch of printer issues with the networks here at work. IS told us they were "too busy" to deal with us, so I started troubleshooting the other receptionists' computers myself. Finally around 2 IS showed up. The IS guy stood behind me as I reinstalled a printer and said rather smarmily, "And what are we doing here?"

I glanced up and replied calmly, "Well, troubleshooting didn't turn up anything, and I'm not showing a problem with the network so I'm reinstalling the printer to see if that solves the problem." (It did, for what it's worth.)

He blinked, unused to a receptionist who's vaguely computer/network literate. "Oh. Okay." He announced to the department, "You guys don't need me up here, just talk to her."

Which wasn't true, but damn that felt good. Don't patronize me. I will smack you down.
