A StackOverflow Exception?

I meant it as a programming within a framework, like JSON or Axis. But you're kinda right, I should've used a more relatable metaphor.

"'What' ain't no OS I've ever heard of! You program in .NET in What?"

"What?"

BLAM

".NET MOTHERFUCKER! DO YOU PROGRAM IN IT?!?"

The buildings without wifi still have Internet, you just need an ethernet cable and have to be plugged in all of the time.

Internet around here can be a problem, wired or wireless, especially if you go all maverick and think hooking up a cable will get you instant internet. Make sure you pay attention during orientation or read whatever instructions or pamphlets are given in regards to accessing the internet here on campus. The wired and wireless systems here are two very different networks and have different ways of connecting to them.

If all of this seems to be too much, give the help desk a call. They will be more than happy to help you out with your internet problems. One time, I was having weird issues connecting to the wired ethernet connection in my room. I gave them a call and they used something called Bomgar to set up a remote access session on my computer and fixed my internet problem in less than 20 minutes! The future of tech support if you ask me!

Maybe the customer was on the toilet when the OP called him?

Call 'em up! Make 'em look into the issue. You know, the squeakiest wheel gets the oil, but if there's no squeak, there's no problem.

Worst comes worst, if you can't find any pics, I would probably set up a petition campaign. Have it so that way it states that whomever signs claims they are an eyewitness to seeing the 99 < 1 painting outside of Tyler during X (X being defined for what the timing was when the painting was outside).

If you can't get pics, at least you'll have the John Hancocks of people who can testify that there existed a 99 < 1 sign outside of Tyler Hall. Send it to the Provost and JA if at all possible. I can say that I will sign if such petition is going around.

Having said what I said, I AM NOT A LAWYER. I am only using what I knew back then about petitions to try and help you out.

Due to the crazy craze of MLP: FiM (and the inclusion of Bronies in the office), we change the theme on unlocked computers to MLP: FiM (which includes a pink taskbar, a Wallpaper of the main six [Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity], and desktop icons to reflect the heads of the aforementioned main six).

Upgrades. Not only shuts the user up, but also give them a placebo that their internet may be going faster

I can't agree with you any more than that. All workplaces should have a bare-basic emergency response protocol implemented for all employees in the event an emergency happens (places I've worked in the past run over it/forget about it).

Dang. If only we could get those orders on paper, then that would be reportable to the local Health Inspector.

Another one of mine: I was requested to snake a clogged toilet for a restaurant I was doing IT work for at the time

I agree. This deserves upvotes. Have mine.

I'd still file it as technically strange, but I wouldn't think twice about it's strangeness or not: I had someone running into the Technology Support Center front desk saying that someone collapsed in one of the nearby lecture halls. Without so much as a thought (and running off skills I acquired from my previous alarm dispatch job), I took the location of where the person was located and got on the phone with campus emergency services. I then gathered additional information about the exact nature of the emergency and relayed that to Campus Dispatch.

Needless to say, it was well certainly out of the ordinary for my day, but I thanked my lucky stars (and previous emergency dispatching skills) that I was there to do what was necessary to save that persons life from where I was.

Not that I mind about this, this is more of a job title gaff. I work the help desk at a State University and one time, one of my fellow Help Desk Analysts had to leave and was almost done with a customer. He transferred the customer over to me after I allowed him to, but was labeled an Associate to the customer on accident.

Jokingly, I reamed him out on that ("An ASSOCIATE?!? What do I look like, I work at the local Wal-Mart or something?")

IT. The one department where the VP thinks their 15-year-old son can literally "do a better job".

"If is is broken, report it as a slight tiny problem".

Broken, as in fried mobo, HD with various sectors, legitimately broken.

You sir have just gave me a great idea (next to reading my Management textbook and learning how a Wiki sorts out possible problematic project-based jobs). Have an upvote for the Google Voice pwn.

Yo listen up here's a story, about a little guy that lives in a blue world

And all day and all night and everything he sees, is just blue like him inside and outside

Blue is his house with a blue little window, and a blue corvette

And everything is blue for him and hisself and everybody around

Cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

I can take Jar Jar Binks, whiney adolescent Anakin, Decoy Padmes/Queens, and to an extent, some parts of that horrible Clone Wars plot arc. What I can't take is an entire movie, let alone a fucking cartoon series about the goddamn Clone Wars.
