      Lol.
      My most recent Fallout 4 character had 2 luck and 1 intelligence. Went for a no vats survival permadeath run so I sunk the points into 10 endurance. Ended up quitting after realising that nothing short of a fatman could kill me by that point. I had 3 ranks of life giver so my hp would completely regen from 1% to max in under two minutes plus the extra health life fiver gives and buffjet and psychojet got me through the rest. And I had ballistic weave that and undergarments so the challenge was gone.
      Bit of a shame because those first 20 or so levels where a fucking blast. Had to put so much thought and caution into every encounter.

      Pfft, IT does suck.
      So you work at a local IT shop where you repair laptops and towers.
      This fat guy comes in, "his laptop broke". You open the lid and look at the keyboard. There is a few sticky stains and he immediately says, it's a soda.
      Ok, we can repair water damages to a certain degree.
      Guy walks off. Get the laptop to the basement.
      Open this shit up. Get hit by a wierd stench. Suppress the gag.
      Unscrew a bit more to reveal cause of damage, while trying not to breath through the nose.
      Suddenly refuse to work on it anymore. Almost threw up in mouth finding it.
      Guy jizzed big time on his laptop, it soaked through and hit the PCB, corroding it.
      Yuck.

      Joel Gawne "IT person" just means "people with a lot of patience to google shit" most of the time. I worked as IT this passed year. I know some stuff, but at least half the shit I googled. IT is more about putting up with bullshit and retarded coworkers that will actively be vague because they do not want to look dumb by saying the wrong thing.

    Awesome.
    IT guy for nearly 20yrs.
    Yes I have 'played' with people like this. It's fun on the boring days, or for people you do not like.
    Some guy came to me one day asking for help, I didn't like him so I said "After lunch?"
    Then he yelled, so I moved very close to his face and said "You know, we IT people read everyone's emails"
    The look on his face......
    Never heard from him since, kept nice and quiet. He even sent other workers to ask for my help on his behalf.
    I still wonder ........... what was in that guy's emails?

After that I always said; "It will be done when it's done." Or Bullshit my way around it since some of the problems they never teach you in college and only Google can help you.

      Basically it is only a thing office ITs ever have to deal with....and yes unfortunately the solution to almost all of the problems you encounter with it is to just force-quit and restart it or re-install it. And chrome is only good for reading pdf files, not editing them, well no significant edits at least, not like the pro version (paid version) of reader. But yeah foxit can also do what it does.

      @jeffwells641 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Turning the machine off and on again is pretty much never "the fix". If you "fixed" the problem, it wouldn't happen again. It will, however, almost always get you running again, until the problem pops up again. It's also entirely possible that that you are not in a position to actually fix the problem, so power cycling is the only answer. You should seriously reconsider your hardware/software choices if that is the situation though.

The other times you just Google stuff if they want help and then spend more time than you should on fixing something that would Actually take 2 minutes or smth.

    video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix my self a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm really a shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I can introduce my self. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she has a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I want the best for her and I harbor no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seems happy with her boyfriend, so I did not bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend, we drank some alcohol because of it, I told her she'll be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was like five years already when I first saw her. Besides, I am quiet happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. My girlfriend wants to live some other life without me in it, so I said, okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness. My lady friend and I drank alcohol about it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally can't take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her shoulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her, you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and left it playing to get my self a sandwich then went to the store to get some mayo then I got distracted by life that I forgot to finish the video. She said, you know what, I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer. So we opened that drawer, and lo and behold, there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of play time on it.
