IT Announcement


We, the IT department, would like to thank you, our end users, for being such an exceptional bunch by introducing a fun contest. Yes, as you may have suspected long time ago, we IT, have nothing better to do ;)

  • MRR: The Most Ridiculous Request! AHA, initially we thought of having it on monthly basis but since you, our beloved users, are providing us with so many, we have enough for a weekly draw! Isn’t that exciting. Pick up the phone, send us an email or drop by, increase your chances.
  • NER: Never Ending Request, how many ways can your problem be solved till you are satisfied! And at peace with the solution, keep them IT going round and round and wooohoooo win a fabulous prize.
  • FA: Frequently Asked, it is your right as a user to ask the same question over and over again and to receive the same answer over and over again. So what, your IT provided you with guides and FAQ page on your personal webpage. Each time you ask the same question, you’ll go up a notch, what’s waiting up there … well loop away with the same question and find out.
  • MOR: Most Outrageous Request, log in the date and time you call your IT personnel. It’s their duty to pick up the phone, this is why IT people are hired. Facing problems with your DSL link at home, can’t connect from a coffeeshop on the weekend, your messenger stopped working on your personal laptop, call any of the listed IT people and don’t forget to tell the IT person to submit your form for this thrilling category.
  • Double I’s: Ohhhh, that’s a tough one, The Impossible Idea, whatever you have in mind, do not hesitate, nothing it too hard, too far, or impossible to conquer!

Guidelines:

  • Think of any IT person as a machine, they look like humans but don’t be fooled, these people, stand in the freezing cold functioning on coffee only for several days and btw only take bathroom breaks!
  • IT people gave up having a personal life upon accepting their positions.

We have created an application form to submit to all of the above, but why waste your time, you have to click the link and fill out the empty box and then click submit .. oh yes we do know you have better things to do, so again drop us a call, email and we’ll fill it out for you, or as one of the brilliant Double I’s that qualified, we are working on reading your minds and predicting what it is you want before you say it ;D

    Customer is a KING! And in my case, it’s King Bashar, so people will mistake me for Bashar Al-Asad, thus I’m untouchable.

    Now go empty some of the internet space, I can’t upload attachment to my Picasa account, the internet is too slow because my switch is bliking too slow for bits to move.

    Bashar, as I said, for YOU, I’ll make an exception and believe me being geeky won’t win you points to survive, on the contrary ;P hehehehe

    You will be cursed. Windows errors on startup and shutdown, sudden out of memory crashes, gadgets won’t feel fun anymore, and neither will your blog as there is one less commenter!

    I have stopped taking ridiculous requests from any person at this point in time! Making it clear was very important from the beginning!

    Marzouq, stopping taking these kind of requests means no longer having a job ;P cz ppl making these kind of requests are those with power!

    I was trying to make positive thoughts of my extermination, thinking of all the good things (or bad things I will escape to put it in another way), and got adjusted. Then all of a sudden you change your mind and I have to worry about all of them :(

    Paahahaha! Good one!

    During my overtime shift I was called over urgently by a beloved end user because she was having problems with her PC.

    The problem?

    She didn’t have Spider (the game) installed on her PC!

    I initially thought she was kidding! :/

    So I did the only responsible thing I knew: I forwarded her problem to the the help desk employee :P
