Speaking of IT HelpDesks...

How ironic that I posted that link to the Gutenberg IT Help Desk...

Now, I like to think of myself as technologically inclined. I am comfortable in PC and Mac worlds (even though the former is inferior), proficient with many programs, and dabble in a variety of others.

So I returned to my puka from a bathroom break, sat down at my desk, kicked back my feet, and returned to work. Without warning, my monitor goes black. Not panicking, I crawl behind the computer tower and check all cable connections. A few seemed a little loose, but even after I tightened them, they weren't all that steadfast.... but nothing that really concerned me. Eventually, I ran out of options to check. Becoming concerned, I poked my head into PukaBuddy's corner and relayed my problem. He inspects my computer for about five seconds and promptly asks with a grin, "Did you try turning on the computer?" Horror of all embarrassing horrors... he pushed power, and voila, my monitor returned.

I therein didst shove his smirking self out of my puka whilst admonitions and sarcasm didst drippeth from the walls. (Don't ask me why I'm suddenly channeling the Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20)
