It is actually a good thing that most people, including management, have no idea of what is really happening. A clueless management actually helps in lightening our already heavy workload.

Another hot dumba$$ within a day
Earlier, there was a user who called and ask why her email attachment that contain mp3 attachment files were not able to be downloaded and played on her office computer.
Error: Notification policy – file type .mp3 have been block by IT Security policy.
Of course, based on this error, it can be noted that the security check have been implemented and triggered the moment the user tried to download the file of that type.
She was told by my one of my colleague who answered her call earlier than me, to try and download the file from another computer instead (none of my colleagues dared to own up, for fear of getting tongue-lashing from me).
I told her straight that the error indicated that the mp3 files are not allowed to be downloaded and played on her office computer.
The following is her exact reply, which I typed out based on her recorded conversation with me earlier, full of sarcasm.

Hot Dumba$$
A user called and complained that her monitor was smoking, smelled of burning, the display had gone wrong, and the monitor was too hot to touch. I suggested that she switch the monitor off until an engineer could look at it.
- Customer: “How do I do that?”
If you are trying to track down why your computer is running so slowly, try using this simple DOS command from Digital Inspiration to uncover a possible problem.
- Type “cmd” in your Windows Run box and press enter.
- Type “netstat -b 5 > activity.txt” and press enter.
- After say 2 minutes, press Ctrl+C.
- Type “activity.txt” on the command line to open the log file in notepad (or your default text editor)
The text file will have a record of everything that has made an Internet connection in the last couple of minutes.
LOOK for any process names or website addresses that you are not aware of. If you track one , go to the task manager (or Process Explorer) to find the location of the executable on your computer and eliminate it.
And since I got a few traffic from non-Windows users, use Little Snitch for OS-X, or GeekTool for Mac (direct netstat output to your desktop, see all outgoing connections) 🙂
Updated: This won’t work in Windows Vista though.

How do YOU spell romance
When I hear people complain that their partner isn’t romantic, one of the first things I think to myself is “have you been romantic to YOUR partner?” After all, how can we complain about something to which we have given no effort right?
