*twitch* Ah, the stupid
Aug. 17th, 2005 04:09 pmNutty colleage struck again. Ack! All she had to do was turn the damned computer on...
NC: *turns monitor on* My computer is broken.
Sel: *looks at computer terminal* You might need to turn the box on.
NC: But I usually just have to turn on this. *points to monitor power switch*
Sel: *bites tongue* Just try the button with the power sign.
NC: *presses button* It's still broken.
Sel: *looks at computer, which is now displaying the HP start up screen* Nope, it's working. That's the start-up screen.
NC: It doesn't normally do that.
Sel: It should.
NC: Maybe if I turn it off and on again it will work properly. *turns monitor off and on*
Sel: *bites tongue*
NC: *points to login screen* See, that fixed it.
Sel: *draws blood*
She's trying to send me insane. It's the only explanation. The reason why she got so confused? She usually doesn't turn off the computer - she just logs out (I dearly hope) and turns off the monitor. Last night someone logged out for her and turned it off. Cue the confusion. Ack!
