(Mods, feel free to correct my title if I misspelled it)
Okay, in a mad attempt to save that little shivering sliver of sanity crying in the corner of my brain, I thought I'd share with you what I've been living through.
When I walked in this morning I had 22 laptops on my bench. A student walked in 3 separate times, each time hoping I'd drop everything, ignoring those 22 laptops and fix his on the spot.
"How long's the 10 foot cable?" (Where's the duct tape when I need to tape shut my mouth?)
Same student "I don't have the same kind of cable as my roommate. Mine is thin, and kinda looks like a phone cable.. but not." So I asked her where she plugged this weird cable into her computer.... it was the modem. So, yes, it was a phone cord.
From the repair form for a computer "(NAC client software) is acting funky. I'm 85% sure I installed everything & 90% sure I did it right..."
Also from repair form "When I plug the cable in, it doesn't work". Yes, when you have your nic disabled, it's not going to work.
More to come.
Anyone else in higher ed hell, post your funnies. Give your shivering sliver of sanity a breather!
