I have to say, there are folks on the central helpdesk that just don't have a clue.
I fixed an issue for a user and all of a sudden a ticket was created saying I needed the issue fixed. I had to go into the ticket and tell them DO NOT do this, I DID NOT submit this. But I am betting they will not read that, do exactly what I told them not to, and soon I will not be able to log into anything....oh joy

Not my first time at this rodeo

But you'll be paid for doing nothing. Why not use the break to eat some picnic food.

It fails to even meet that.

No other post meets it better.
Carly Simon even sang a song about it.

The computer age will die not with a bang but with a "huh?" I'll bet they don't know how to chip flint to make spears either.

Students who grew up with search engines might change STEM education forever

the concept of file folders and directories, essential to previous generations’ understanding of computers, is gibberish to many modern students.

I don't think she had that depth of vanity in mind.

I'll get paid to fix the problem myself, that they created for no reason other than incompetence

I did some gluing today.
Thought I was done.
Turns out I wasn't.
I might be done now.
But I won't claim so.
Tempting fate that would be.

 

[Wu Wei]

I did no gluing today.
Never thought I did.
Turns out I didn't.
I'm not doing any now.
And I won't claim so.
Tempting fate pffht who cares.

Army tests MK-22 Precision Sniper Rifle at Fort Bragg ahead of fielding - UPI.com

According to the Army, the MK22 is part of the Army's PSR program, allowing the Army an extreme range weapons system that is lighter than current sniper rifles and including features that mask the sniper.

The Army announced in the spring it had awarded a nearly $50 million, five-year contract to Barrett Firearms to acquire 2,800 Multi-role Adaptive Design rifles.

"The increased engagement range will keep Snipers safer and increase the options for the local commander employing these combat multipliers," added Sgt. Austin Stevens, a sniper assigned to the 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, in the statement.

It will keep the snipers safer, according to the sniper quoted in the article. I guess that's good news for the snipers.

If I make 180,000 posts in the next 24 hours I could move into the top spot currently held by @Revoltingest. Maybe if I play theme songs from movies like Rocky that will help.

If I did 180,000 posts in 24 hours, I doubt there is much I could bear.

Or frantic. A word that I have come to use more often since using internet forums.
