I’ve got a special Tech Support Thursday post over at Ricky Anderson’s blog. And yes, I know it is Tuesday.
Check out “Oh my gosh!”
Special thanks to Ricky for allowing me to guest post on his blog, and in case you missed it, here’s his guest post for my blog.
While you’re there, stop and read some of his Network Administrator Diaries, especially if you enjoy Tech Support Thursdays.
What are you still doing here? Go check out that post!
Today you have the opportunity to read a guest post from Ricky Anderson. His blog is very funny, and if you enjoy Tech Support Thursdays, you’ll definitely enjoy his blog. He offered to guest post during a hard week for me, and boy do I appreciate it.
Without any further ado:
Turning It On
User: My laptop won’t turn on.
Me: Ok, is the battery charged?
User: Should be. Either way, it’s plugged in.
Me: Ok, and nothing happened when you hit the power button to turn it on? Or did it try to boot and then stop?
User: Wait a minute. I have to push a button to turn it on?
Me: *Choking on my coffee* Yes, you have to push the power button. It’s the big one above your keyboard with the power symbol on it.
User: Oh, I thought I just had to open the lid. I’ll try the button, hold on. [pause] It worked!
Me: How did you get to work this morning?
User: What do you mean?
Me: Well, did your engine start when you opened your door?
User: No, why would it do that?
Me: You tell me!
And yes… this is a true story.
Thanks Ricky!
