Work is Hell...so, something funny.
Thursday, August 22, 2013
I'm pretty sure lots of people have posted about their jobs before, and lots of others have had bad days/weeks/months where their job has been under threat or lost or awful.
It's currently my turn through that mill. But as a great man once said, "when you're going through hell, keep going". It wasn't Milton.
Since I'm on the subject of work, and since I currently don't like my work situation very much, I thought I'd eek out a little joy by making some of my colleagues smile by being satirical about something we all see regularly.
These are incident ticket summary lines. Their job is to tell other teams what the issue is. I have [redacted] things where they might identify the company I work for, which isn't a bad company really, and of course I'm not sharing any customer information.
That said, these are all genuine.
already sorted
- because nothing makes more sense than calling us about an issue that you already fixed. That's some good work, there, Lou...
Fluke Robin electrical installation
- Biff! Pow! Ker-Sparks! The only way this makes sense is if it refers to the Boy Wonder installing a new gadget in the Bat Cave, but by accident. Which is even more baffling than the summary line itself.
Milton Keynes centre: does it exist?
- This is going to keep me awake at night. This is either a powerful existential query or an excuse to don the Pith Helmet and go explorin'.
Not doing
- Verbs! Ha! Good Gawd, y'awl, what are they good for? Absolutely nothin'! Say it again!
Nottingham is full
- Other cities with spaces include Skelmersdale and Macclesfield. Form an orderly queue.
Advised he will need to do it online
- a single man, with broadband and a webcam...I'm afraid it's almost inevitable that you'd try.
Are the rules going to change?
- No. Monopoly has always been played this way.
Stuck
- yes...but where?
Hanbook
- I've read the companion volume, Chewiebook. And the prequel, Landobook.
Husband calling about wife
- Sorry, sir, we only sell what you see in the catalogue
Wife gets 'script behaviours' error
- Please return your wife to Stepford.
