Have you ever had a time when because one thing happened, whatever it may be, a whole bunch of crap happened in the background because of it. Funny thing happened today at the Office and I just had to share it with the rest of the Tech community. I'll try to explain it as best I can.
We had a Dell tech show up to service a laptop that had some issues today and I was busy so I couldn't go up and get it for him from the end user so I had someone call the user and he stated that he was leaving for the day so we can take his laptop and do whatever need to be done. Well the person that I had call this individual sent the Dell tech up to the clients cube "at least it used to be his cube" Tech came back down to IT with "A" laptop and proceded to start working on it. He ended up taking about 4 hours to fix it and he had to get going. I told him I would bring it back up to the user's desk for him and said see ya. When I got up to the Clients "old" cube (Mind you, I just got back from vacation and was unaware of the move" I noticed an empty cube. After asking a neighbor where the user moved to I went to his "new" cube that he just moved to and found that "HIS" laptop was still sitting in the docking station just like the user left it. I ran back down stairs to our area to find that the Dell tech had done like Elvis and "Left the Building". I also found out that security had been by earlier and asked if someone had seen a laptop that belonged to an outside sales rep who was onsight for the day. Hee Hee Meanwhile through all of this I also came to find that the reason I hadn't seen the network admin for the past few hours was because he was imaging a new laptop for the sales rep who thought his laptop was stolen. What a day. The best is going to be tomorrow when I have to tell the original end user that nothing was fixed on his laptop yesterday because someone forgot to update their phone list. What a mess...........Anyone else have a good one???
