now this really rox.

I was once an intern at a Semicon company for MIS Dept. Now i received complains about a PC is down, can't even boot ON. And the user claimed that the PC was working fine yesterday. When I reached her cubicle, it was a million dollar answer for the question; she didn't plug into the wall socket and turn it on.

Again, on another occasion, I received a help refuge email from someone on the production line says that he couldn't log into his PC.

Worst, he forwarded that mail to MIS Dept, the Head of Department and the Director of MIS using the header "Unable to log into server, Server Down" !!! WTF!!!

Now, my head of dept received immediate phone calls to expedite this thing up and give goddamit good explanation on that. He sent me to the employee that complained about server down. All the colleague in the server room were puzzled as no other calls were received regarding server down. They even checked the server and everything is working fine! Worst, some even thought that by resetting the server is all it takes but the routine to bring it up and the avalanche of incoming support call would be too much.

So I went to the designated department, checked the PC and it really can't log in using the regular remote account. Could have been the network or server. I checked the rear of the PC, it seems like there weren't lights activity from the NIC connection.

Great, so I unplug it and replug back. Voila... connection reinitiated, everything is up.

But the PC doesn't seems to be at the right place; there's a dust shadow on the other side that looked like the footprint of the monitor and the tower. Then they told me their manager shifted the PC before.

what a day...

haha...yeah... sometimes they complain why even the password must be so complex... but for sure sometimes those company want a unique password, and they keep on forgetting it...
