God dammit lady, you do not spill liquid on your $1500 laptop, frying it and then while I'm getting you a loaner ask me if IT will get you a $2500 Macbook Air.

Some loving stones you have.

does she want like a 512Gb SSD in it or something? $2500 is a ridiculous number for a macbook air. A retina pro on the other hand is very doable.

Knowing some of the users I deal with, she would want the retina pro.

But the price is beside the point, just the fact she asked about getting a Mac after she destroyed her Dell computer pissed me off.

I still say the OP needs a "gently caress printers" blingee gif that uses that exploded laser printer image.



A minor effort made.

A ticket came in...

Or to be more precise, someone walked up to my desk and thought they had a virus as they were getting email bombed. Turns out a few people were getting email bombed from a single source. The first email in the bomb stated "Happy April Fools! You're inbox is going to get bombed!" I got our Network Operations team involved and with some teamwork, we found out who the culprit was and my co-worker got a message from the culprit when he tried to remote into the offending machine.

Paraphrased, the culprit asked if he should stop his shenanigans and how we caught him. This was over our chat client, so screenshots were taken.

Our head of IT got wind of this and was extremely pissed off and went to talk to the guy directly along with our IT Security Manager. I overheard talk of getting the culprit's manager, his manager's manager and his VP involved.

Said culprit has had his equipment taken away from him and walked out the door.

April Fools indeed.

I love this one.

It's the oldest trick in the book, and when people realize someone's done it to them you just can't help but laugh at the absurdity of it.

I like to do it with a picture of Nick Cage.
