Shark Tank

But you just know he'll find his way

There's some ... well, let's call it playfulness among the project managers at this manufacturing company, according to an IT support pilot fish there.

"Their favorite target right now is our new PM," fish says.

"In the last two days, he has come down with his wireless mouse in hand once, complaining it wasn't working.

"I took off the piece of Post-it note covering the laser and handed it back.

"Then he called today, indicating he couldn't connect to the network.

"I told him to plug his network cord back in.

"I applaud him, though. He understands potential data-corruption issues, and has chosen his retribution path to be noncomputer in nature."

And Sharky will probably hear about it. Send me your own true tale of IT life at sharky@computerworld.com. You won't get retribution — just a snazzy Shark shirt if I use it. Add your comments below, and read some great old tales in the Sharkives.

Now you can post your own stories of IT ridiculousness at Shark Bait. Join today and vent your IT frustrations to people who've been there, done that.
