techie non-help

[elionwyr]

My computer crashed hard a while back. Our tech team was able, months later now, to restore an old save of what I had on my hard drive. Part of this was (thank goodness) a bunch of emails, but I couldn't figure out how to view it, and Outlook's help file is..well..a joke. (IMHO.)

So I called the person back who had worked on my PC, but in the meantime I kept playing with it, and eventually did get it working.

Help Desk person called today and left a message trying to explain how to do what I needed - but it was (a) confusing and (b) wrong.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could walk around and say, "Hey. You're stupid. I want your job because I can do it better," and then *poof*, have it happen?

Ehh...the problem, you see, is that my mother used to work where I do, and she was a damned good techie. So it's what I expect from everyone else. And so far no one else measures up.

(It's more than just daughter hero worship...there are a lot of other people who tell me how much they miss her help - then they sigh wistfully..hehehe)
