This is a question IT Support

Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

I used to work in a Town Hall
There were four of us in an office, split into two teams.

The other team had a new investment computer installed. My boss was initiated into its mysteries as a back-up user, but I was considered too lowly to be considered. They did not even tell me about it. Several people were on the back-up list including the Assistant Treasurer and a guy who was supposed to be the floor's technical chief.

One lunchtime I was alone in the office and the above two came in to familiarise themselves with the computer while it was quiet. They sat down and I carefully ignored them as nobody had invited me to take an interest and my nose was a tad out of joint to say the least. They had been there for at least five minutes when one of them turned to me and said, "Whiskas, do you know how to turn this on?"

I reached round the back, found the switch and returned to my seat. Afterwards, I told as many people as possible.
