Let's just send a campus wide email!

[technical.angel]

So, there's a staff member that, for some unknown reason, is getting calls for random people on campus. I don't know why, I've had many people look at it, and we just can't figure it out.

I guess he's getting a little pissed off about it.

He got a voicemail for a "Jennifer" from a (location) Commuications.

A quick look through the employee directory will yield two Jennifers. Me, and the Health Services AA.

Instead of sending it to both of us, or just me as you think the Telco Admin would get something from a company with Communications in it's name, he decides to send it to EVERYONE ON CAMPUS.

At the current count, I've had six people forward it to me, and one person call me about it. :: head desk ::

Oh, and NOW, I'm finally getting information out of the guy as to the problem that I've been trying to get out of him for an ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR.

Update! 14 people have sent me the voicemail message! THUS! 14 people are smarter than the idiot who sent it to everyone!

Hehe I just pictured a scoreboard by your desk.

I do have a dry erase board on my wall.....

Next person who calls in about it..

"Thank you sir, I just put another hash mark on my dry erase board. Have a good day."

[Dips]

And you just know that now the problem is fixed the professor's going brag about his not-so-little stunt...

"I've been complaining about this all year and nothing got done until I forwarded the message to everyone on campus. THAT got their attention and they FINALLY fixed it."

[Blade_Raver]

Watch the suckiness enable further suckiness by telling everyone else to follow the same protocol everytime they want something fixed.

I wouldn't doubt it, but during the times I'm NOT learning corporate phone wiring, I'm in my slow phase. So work orders get dealt with as soon as I get them.

As a telecom geek, here's my -> Clue x 4 x phonedoom. Use as needed.

Next time, just offer to change his extension to (if you have 5-digit extensions) to 38258.

My sympathies.

I wonder if he would eventually figure it out... Hmmm.

[technical.angel]

I haven't....

[Geek King]

I haven't....

Play with the letters aligned with those numbers. You'll see the message.

SOLVER'S HINT!: Start with 3=F!

[technical.angel]

OOOOOOO...

Now I get it. I was trying to spell idiot or something.
