A call just popped in, started off reasonable...

Quote:

My company mobile phone has ceased functioning.

The battery is fully charged and the Sim card is intact but the phone does just not work.

It stayed sensible.

Quote:

I am currently using another phone that was a spare to another person.

And then progressed thus, he's obviously spoken to someone previously who's organised a replacement.

Quote:

I have a message from Vodafone which states. “Your faulty Phone will be exchanged today. Please backup your phone if possible- retain your battery and sim card and ensure it is available for collection”.

Then it all went downhill.

Quote:

Can you advise on the next course of events in the replacement of the phone.

Luckily I'm not dealing with this.

*sigh*

(it's a senior manager, someone who one would hope is employed for their intelligence and common sense).

I can see your mistake there - hoping that managers are intelligent.

Not a problem I have to endure as all the managers I regularly work with worked their way up.

Service Manager rings:

Manager: "There is something wrong with the system....."
silence
Me: "Which system are you having a problem with?"
Manager: "My computer"
Me: "Whats wrong with your computer, whats it not doing?"
Manager: "Its not working correctly"
Me: (Sighing) "One moment, I will be down shortly"

He had locked himself out of one of the proprietary systems, which only requires a password reset, and can only be done from my desk or the server, so I traipse back up to the server room

Same manager rings:

Manager: "Have you fixed the system yet?"
Me: "No, I have just got back to the server room" (the server room is at the end of a factory that holds 30 lorries so you can imagine how long it takes to get to the end)
Manager: "How long will you be?"
Me: "?!?"
Me: "Just logging in now, shouldn't take a moment"
Me: "Ok, can you try now?"
Silence
Me: "Hi Neville?"
Silence
Me: "Hello?"
Silence

The git had put the phone on the desk and was talking to someone else.

How rude!

I had an email today asking me to spec a photocopier.

Boy, did I explode.

Your managers suck. If I was managing you you'd all be happy
