So I work at my school as a tech specialist. Generally the jobs are so easy that they don't take too much time, so for most of the class period I just play games with the other techs (and I surf Uber to see if there's anything good on)
Today I was given a job to go fix a printer. The teacher claimed that her printer was not working. She said she pressed the power button repeatedly and nothing happened. I walk into the classroom, first thing I do is check to make sure it's plugged into an outlet...it is. Then I check to make sure that the cord in the back of the printer is plugged in...it is. So the teacher's not a complete moron.
I stand corrected, she is.
I push the REAL power button and the printers starts up and running with no problem. I pointed out to her that there is a button that says "Go/Continue"...that's not the power button.
I live for these jobs!

what ytou have to understand is that the teachers are busy teaching. they don't have time to learn how every single device works- they are paid to teach, you are paid to fix stuff.

The story made me smile.....
C1ndy made me laugh
""they are paid to teach, you are paid to fix stuff.""
I found this funny because the whole point of the post is that it wasn't broken.

load of kids: "miss miss miss misss print wanna print manna print printer proken etc"
teacher: (glancing away from ubersite): get the technician to fix it. I am very busy.

you don't believe in evolution and you criticise others for lacking basic problem solving skills and not understanding the real world?
---
Sorry you feel that way, I didn't realize that fact that beliving in evolution or not had anything to do with computers. I didn't think that me believing in evolution had any bearing on this post. In fact, I didn't say anything about evolution in this post. Real mature buddy, attack the person's beliefs instead of their actual content.

...so you do it for free?
well, were I work I guess we have 20 or 30 different printers. When you are teaching a class of kids, you don't have time to go searching about sorting out all the tekkie stuff, you get some geeky kid to do it (you it appears) or call the IT technician. Each model is different. Life is too short to worry about how printers work- of course I can work the one I have at home, and the one in my office.

No, it's my class.
She only had that one printer in there anyways.
And yup, I'm the geeky little kid. And I don't claim to know how a printer works. I can just turn it on, if it doesn't work I mess around until it does, but it appears that she didn't even try the power button.
Whatever, it really doesn't matter, I'm just bored and wanted something to do, so I decided to complain about this, probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, especially since it was my first post and all.

"what ytou have to understand is that the teachers are busy teaching. they don't have time to learn how every single device works- they are paid to teach, you are paid to fix stuff. "
I'm not paid to do this.
And I hardly think that knowing how the printer works would have anything to do with knowing how to turn one on.

You self-satisfied tech support types make me sick. The IT people at my office walk around like they're fucking kings or something, instead of the totally replaceable monkeys that they are. Go pop a zit or something.
