Official SGT ADD thread
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

You know I'm actually learning in computer class how to use a forum, a mouse and a keyboard. So by the time I'm done with class I will know how to post useless information on this board.

If, while screwing around with you computer like a jackass, you rotate your monitor display, just suck it up and figure out how to fix it yourself. Under no circumstances should you call the help desk and admit that you were playing around and don't know how to undo what you did.

Oh look a danged pigeon stuck in a room while beating its wings against the windows. So that is how they make the chicken strips.
Speaking of strips has Wallaby finished growing back his fur?

Help Desk Tech: "Okay, just leave everything exactly the way it is, don't touch anything and one of our techs will be there shortly."
[Three minutes later]
User: "While I was trying to leave everything the way it was, I accidentally rebooted!"
Honestly, people, if my users get any dumber this week, I'm going to need another raise. (Or whiskey and a fist fight) :mad:
EDITED TO ADD: Oh my f*cking gawd! I think one of my idiots-er-users just read this over my shoulder as he was sneaking up on me to ask another inane question ("How do I scan this document to my friends email address?")

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
Waaayyy back when, I was a field engineer for a telephone switch company. Returning from lunch one day I was handed a ticket to fly to Anchorage. I asked what the problem was and was told the local utility company refused to talk about it and wanted on-site support NOW!!!Kwahati wrote:User: "Hello, I've got a problem with my computer.

It's a day's flight to the 49th state and I arrived late in the afternoon. I was met at the airport by one of our less than useful SE's who drove me to the customer's site. We were met by the local utility company's tech, his manager and a senior exec. As soon as I walked in they all started yelling. After they ran out of gas I asked what the problem was. It had to do with a function on the operators console when answering calls on a specific trunk group.
I brought up the trunk group parameters, gave it about ten seconds thought and said, "Let's adjust this software timer."
I made the change and ran some test calls with the operator. The problem was resolved. I looked at the local bozos and told them we could have resolved this over the phone a day ago. They all slunk out with their tales between their legs. Muwaaaahahahahahahahaha.
I was stuck there for a couple of days and ended up meeting Wolfman Jack in the hotel lobby. All is all a successful trip.
