Why am I not shocked Fox News is calling for homeless to be killed.

Me. "Did you call the ISP and check for an outage and have them verify they can hit their modem?"
Client: "Yes. They said everything is good."

Modem reboot later, network comes back up. Definitely not an ISP problem.

Good deed on a Friday. Filling in on Help Desk and a user reported wifi issues. Couldn't remote in, no on site tech. Walked her through downloading on another computer, moving it to hers, and installing and fixed it. 😮Tempted to see if she wants to work Help Desk.

There must be something in the air this week with users. Today I spent time arguing back and forth with a user as to why she could not email a 200mb attachment. I gave her plenty of different options, but apparently I am the asshole. #IT

Every single time, there is a bit of sadness. #IT

If suddenly your Windows 11 laptop decides to load incredibly slow this morning and run like shit, once it finally fully loads up after 20-30 minutes, open up command prompt with admin priviledges and run "powercfg /h off". It turns of Fast Startup and should resolve the issue.

Happy Friday! Hope everyone is having a great one! #happyfriday

Today's challenge? Listening to the user accuse me of reducing the allowed attachment size on email, because she wasn't getting emails with attachments from an outside client.

I show up 30 minutes early to meet a user whose laptop keyboard needs replaced. The user arrives 1.5 hours late and apologizes as they forgot their laptop at home.😞

And while doing a grocery pickup on lunch, a casual "Hope the snow stays away" turns into trying to escape back into my car while the pickup person rambles about the government controlling and making weather.

Honestly, after 8 years of working in this field, printers are the top of the list of things that make me want to consider truck driving as a career.

Absolutely loving the fact the Onion now owns InfoWars.
