Coworkers tinkering with toasty electronic goodness

At the library once, I completely tore apart a typewriter... because they wanted me to!! The children's librarian was doing a program series about various artistic movements (for the older set of kids) and she couldn't figure out what to do for dadaism. So, I suggested we tear apart one or two (or five!) of the stupid broken typewriters that our director just won't throw away.

It was great, especially since I had some frustration to vent that day. Tearing stuff up was good for that.

Ok, Im the IT chick that the workers have to call to fix their darn machines.

Hoorah for IT chicks!

We have most of the faculty and staff trained NOT to attempt to fix an issue on their own. That other portion..., they keep me jumping.

That guy is me. But with me, I actually know what I am doing.

The last thing boss' IT guy friend worked on (the little issue where the server and register weren't talking to each other), he mucked it up to the point where it took a full day to get it right.

And of course, zero documentation so if it happened again I wouldn't know how to fix things "correctly"

(if it were up to me, I'd pull the whole network down and rebuild from scratch as it's a halfassed setup that's not robust enough for what we're having it do)
