i just got off the phone with our pc guy. he was the rudest most condescending piece of shit. i was just asking when he was going to move our wifi attenna so i can use it in my new office. its the same with these guys at every place ive worked. honestly that jimmy fallon skit from SNL "nick burns computer guy" was 100% dead on. i think its the only place in their lives they have power, so tey love flexing it. anyway the guy was like "why are you calling me, ill get to it when i get to it", then explained some shit to me like i was a baby.
this is my new office it needs cleaned up badly..its pretty big though and i got a mini fridge

bet of luck with your new office man!

speaking as a former "tech guy"...the attitude comes from dealing with assholes on a regular basis. Look at it this way...these people get a bazillion calls per day from irate clients that seem to think it's the Techs fault that they deleted their files, or forgot their password, or that they can't program their VCR. Techs deal with a rediculous amount of stupid questions every day, and put up with an insane amount of bullshit....hence the high burnout rate.
Before you condemn his attitude, remember that he puts up with more shit in one day than you do in a year.

I used to work as a network admin back in the day, and while i tried to be cordial and respectful most of the time it gets hard when you get shit from everyone all the time. People blame you for all kinds of shit like the xerox machine running out of paper, and blame you when they fuck up their own workstation and don't save their work on the server share that gets properly backed up every night.
People call you day after day asking the same stupid question about their email and get angry when you explain it to them in layman's terms. For some reason people are always defensive when it comes to their computer literacy, especially dipshit corporate execs who feel the need to constantly remind me that "while i don't understand this computer crap i do have an MBA". Not that i mind having my area of expertise being referred to as crap.
Also there is a hierarchy of sorts in the computer word where the newbs get to take the support calls/change printer papers and they are obviously not as knowledgeable as the guy who manages the corporate security system. So people get pissed at the poor support and start calling the senior guys directly demanding answers and support like we don't have anything better to do with our time, like keeping the infrastructure operating smoothly.
People used to call me day and night at the office or home requesting help with some inane problem or expecting me to come home to them and set up their isdn router or whatever. I'm so fucking tired of explaining shit to people that i will probably never work in that fashion again.

we're justified in that reasoning.
no, your guy sounds like a dickhead. just because he's working in tech doesn't mean everybody's like that.
i try my best to be kind and slow when dealing with clients, but always break down when i have to watch somebody else using their computer, taking 30 minutes to do something that would take me 1.

I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

There is an idea of a King of the Thing; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there.

Try what?
I'm friends with our tech guy and I still notice that attitude in em. I ignore it and sometimes have to say, "Just fix it, I've got a shit ton of work to do." I do always make sure to express my gratitude. One thing that bugs me though is they'll just walk up in my office without knocking or walk in when I'm not in. Fucking knock sometime and give me some kind of warning that way I don't leave confidential information out.

Haha I'm sure it happens but from personal experience i don't think i have ever had time to play any game except solitaire when working support and stuff. No excuse for being a condescending prick though. Shitty luck you got the Nick Burnes guy
