I've been a Geek for about 10 years now. My syntax is perfect. My SQL queries are just stunning. I know the ERP system so well I can fix it before it's even broken. But somehow some colleagues just don't believe I possibly contribute anything of value to the IT function.
Last week.
A User, who is depriving a nearby village of an idiot, approaches the IT station and speaks to (male) Geek1.
User: "I've got a problem with SystemX, can you have a look at it?"
Geek1: "You need to speak to Phen, she's the administrator."
User to (male) Geek2: "Can you help - I've got a problem in SystemX?"
Geek2: (aware that my antennae are up...) "Um, you need to speak to Phen. She deals with SystemX"
User to (male) Geek3: "Can you do it?"
Geek3 (placing a crash helmet on his head): "YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO PHEN"
User finally makes eye contact with me... "Oh, do you know much about SystemX Phen?"
Me: "Fuck off, you NOB"
What's he think I'm doing all day? Typing fucking minutes?
