any funny stories to do with being at work etc?

I once went to a site to do some maintenance work and when i walked through the door i found it was a gay and lesbian mail order depot.

The place was stacked to the roof with gimp masks, all kinds of orifice prodding devices and strange magazines that i never want to see again.

I was only 19 and the bloke on reception took a real shine to me, in a scary way.

After that they always used to ask for me, and it was always a fault that i had to climb under his desk for, i must have done a good job or something.

Platinumguy,

There are some things you should not tell people and I believe that to be one of them :-D

 

[PlatinumGuy]

Its not like i used to go there and cut the cables on the outside of the building at the weekend so they would call up or anything.

Now that would be wrong.

I went to a site where the owner was a crazy woman. Shouted and sweared at all of her staff. I told her i needed someone to record some auto attendant messages and next thing a rather shy girl was sat in the office with me saying she was there to record some messages.

I asked why she was particularly nervous and almost bemused. It turned out the owner had literally walked outside and grabbed this girl off the street and told her to come and record some messages for her- poor girl had no idea what was going on.

Fax machine not working. I get on site and test the jack and dial out and test incoming DID. I bring the guy over and ask him where the fax machine is. He said it is still on back order.

A few years ago at my old Job I got a ticket from our Helpdesk asking me to take a new keyboard out to a user. The ticket went on to say that the users number keys on the right side of the keyboard where not working and that the NumLock light was off.

I stopped by the users desk and pressed the NumLock button, the light came on and the number keys started to work.

It didn't shock me that a user would have issues like this, that happens all the time. It was just funny that it made it thru the Helpdesk.

I had just started a new job and as always was very anxious about making a good impression. My boss who had a very strong personality tells me we have a defective board and to work with the avaya tech on getting it fixed. The avaya tech comes out, I'm feeling very important that this task is being handled by myself. Everything happens so fast, board get swapped, I sign work order, everything fine, right?
The next day, the boss' right hand man askes me where is the old board. I'm like "I threw it out yestday". He's like let me repeat the question "where's the $4000.00 old board". I'm like "in the trash?". My real boss' finds out. At the time we were all new, so he sugar-coated everything, but by the time everyone gets to know me, I become known as "crickets" and all the trash cans get removed from my sight.

Me and a work collegue were running a fibre at a convent 6th form. One of the girls see us on the roof. Walker over to the window and pulled a moonie at us.
The same girl then pinched my bum as I was walking up a ladder.

I was working an overnight job, and one of my crew told me to go take a break, and get something to eat. I told them that I had things to get done, and to just go take their break with everyone else, because I am the boss. I got looked straight in the eye, in front of my entire crew, and told, no your not the boss, Mom is, and you better or I am telling her.

I got razzed about who is the boss after that for a while. I do enjoy working with my daughter though, she gets the smart arse thing from her mother.

I was called by a call centre agent who told me she couldn't locate the power button on the computer that was at her new desk she'd moved to that day.

I told her that they are normally on the front, around the middle anbd described the symbol - she again told me that she couldn't see it.

I walked over and quickly diagnosed the issue - I told her that it would be better to move to a desk where there was actually a computer...

@aarenot

That is too funny. My oldest daughter is only 2 and so far I've got her trained to think I'm the boss, but I am already seeing that come undone. By the time she is old enough to work for me I can tell she will not only think I'm not the boss, but that SHE is!...then Mom, then me...maybe.

Old guys will appreciate this.

Working 1A2 having the new guy hold down on the terminals inside the phone while you rang up the number he was touching.

 

[IPhello]

I have been the new guy holding onto the terminals.

This happens on just about every install. It's the day of training and the phone rings and they look up at you and say, "What should I do?

It's the day of training and the phone rings and they look up at you and say, "What should I do?"

I usually start my training with the words "If the phoen rings, it usually means someone is trying to speak to you.... You'd better answer it!" I sometimes gets a snigger, sometimes not!

Recpetionist called complaining that she sounds very quiet to callers, turned out that she was using a plantronics headset with a boom. She'd been taking the boom off and using it to clear out her ears and had filled the end with ear wax, very hygenic!!
Now that was an interesting one to deal with when the IT Manager asked what the problem was!!

oh gag!
