One of my favorite know it all tech wannabes in the office recently has his laptop "stolen" and I use it in quote because no one believes him. Why? The story has holes large enough to fly a 747 through it. Now he is accusing the cleaning people whom I know personally. The most unusual aspect in that 10 laptops in cubicles near that one remained untouched. He has refused to file a police report pending his "own investigation" of the situation. He is basically a hoser that like to tinker with his system. Again he always come to me directly and never uses the help desk.
So where am I going? Being a self-important bastard he demand "priority" support. Ooooo Kkkkkkk...... He starts harassing the girl in charge of procurement (he always puts her through hell). Meanwhile he tried to dismantle one of the Guest PCs and use as his own. Of course I refused. I told him that he can either use the Guest PCs of wait for a replacement. He then tells me it's "beneath him" to be assigned to a Guest cubicle.
Alright whatever, I give him a PC just to shut him up. Again he is harassing procurement 8 hours a day about how "important" he is and needs a new PC. A new one will be arriving tomorrow but he is demanding I drop everything for him. Yea right..... phuck off. I am scheduled to attend an important budget meeting so he has to sign up with help desk. He refuses and tells me I must configure it first thing in the morning or else..... Or else what? he gets pissed and tells me to "keep the damn thing" because he didn't want it anymore.
Fine, a new Compaq Armada M300, 196MB PC100, 6GB HDD, 3Lb Magnesium shell, 11.3" TFT Active Matrix display is fine with me. Ohhh... did I mention that the PC I gave him is a Mid-tower Pentium 166 (non-MMX), 32MB EDO, 2GB HDD, and 15" monitor? Oh well, to each his own.
