Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Funny IT Worker Stories

Post by ChrisGorsky »

So recently I got a new job working at an accounting office two minutes away from my house. I used to have to commute 30+ minutes to my old job in NYC which was a pain and cost me a lot in gas. Recently I got an email from my old boss who knew I got a new job and that I was not going to be working for him anymore.

Here is the email, it is a todo list that made me laugh:

I have no idea what some of the stuff is and he sent me this twice the first time had less items in it.
The point is I thought I could start a thread for people to post any stories they have from working in IT or any other field.

Wow.. I would *much* rather have had my first job of cleaning out moving trucks than ever doing anything related to IT help desk. I would probably kill someone.

I think dealing with clients can be even worse than bosses :(

Jesus christ, you guys make me so glad I'm an antisocial engineer who just hides in an office with his head down coding in the professional environment, instead of interacting with people.
