Haha,,, gave the new executive his company laptop. Open it up for him,,, "Wow,,, great! How do I turn it on?" Open outlook for him to show him a little about it,,, open a test email and ask him to type something in the body. "How do i make the cursor go down the next line?" I tell him the enter button and point to it. "Oh ok, it looks different than the one I use at home". Haha,, executives,,, so silly.

I bet those executives are aware that your use of commas is horrendously incorrect in that post.

"Can I copy and paste from Excel into Word?"
"What's my login and password?" (for a system used daily for years by everyone in the department, asked by a "system champion" who constantly makes decisions about the tool.)
"How do I get access to DHCP?"
"Can we change the color...?" on the website, on Word text, on calendar invitations, on Excel cells, on anything and everything.

Will add more as I think of them. The DHCP one was my favorite. I asked, "what exactly are you trying to do?" and she just kept repeating that she needed access to "the DHCP system, to get information about a user."

OP, are you somehow related to zanejohnson? Are you his bastard inbred cousin that uses commas instead of periods?

I assume you are IT.

He's probably thinking "silly IT infidels". What he lacks in technology skills, he probably makes up for in business know-how and people skills. And that's probably something you lack.

My company's President needed someone to drive 5 miles to his office to turn up the brightness on his laptop and increase his font size.

He's a fucking idiot.

I think you should be thankful that he's 'smart' enough to ask. Otherwise, you'd probably be spending the night re-imaging the machine when he manages to screw it up somehow.

He's probably laughing in the cigar and brandi room with his fellow millionaires at how he got the IT guy to do menial tasks like a monkey
