I just wish I had someone around to show me the ropes. It is hard learning it all by trial and error because sometimes the errors are doozies. I ain’t quiet as stoopid as the guy in your strip though.

Stuart, I love that story. I may use that in a future cartoon. That one practically draws itself.

This is so spot on.

At a prior role I bumped into one of our regular helpdesk nightmares and commented on how we hadn’t heard from her recently. Her response was “well all you tell me to do is reboot and I can manage that without phoning you guys”.

My answer was to inquire if the reboot actually fixed the problem. Her positive reply was all the answer I needed.

Clever cartoon, Barry. Newspaper comic strip quality humor. Really, it’s like something I’d see in the funnies.

As an IT Manager for a contractor operated Army facility, I have experienced the same behaviors out of my users. Keep up the great job Barry.
