I suspect that fixing computers is the only job in the world where people feel it is acceptable to invade your personal space while you are working.
Guess what? You can see the monitor perfectly fine from 30cm over there. I don't want your dandruff on my shoulder. Thank you.
Lol. Know what you mean.
ReplyDeleteJust a cotton-picking minute!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as someone who frequently has to "help" colleagues fix their non-functional computers, 30cm is too far away to really irritate the poor sods. Seeing as 9 times out of 9.000001, the problem is caused by their f*cking up the computer themselves, the close, personal and irritating approach works as a kind of deterrent to future f*ck-ups.
TSB, you misunderstand, or I miswroted. I'm the one fixing the computer. And some slack-jawed yokel user mouth-breathing in my personal space really irritates me when I'm trying to fix their computer that they mucked up even though they deny having changed anything. (At least when I supported mainframes we always had a nice printed log to prove whodunnit; bloody Windows doesn't). It's not like they actually understand anything I'm doing, and the most useful comments they ever add is "ooh, that looks complicated" or "I couldn't do that". Why don't they piss off and let me get on with my work? Do they do the same thing to their car mechanic?
