IT Techie?

Sort of - QA, but I handle most of the IT related stuff, graphs & coding etc.

That is, when people decide to send me stuff! :mad: Its the one bad thing about thsi job - its ideally suited otherwise; within walking distance of my house, easy hours, great people, pay isnt too bad either. Its just the fact that I sit here for atleast 4 hours a day with nothing to do.

Ah well, guess its improving patience :)

IT techie is a shit job.

i did it for about a year i think with middlesbrough council.

installing comps, fixing comps, networking comps.

after a while it just fucked me off. 1 too many un-appreciative people can get to you. especially when youre only getting paid £50 a fucking week!

a typical day might of involved loading up the help desk software and picking some jobs up off it.

"retard x cannot reinstall their mouse, please reinstall mouse"
"idiot fucker x cannot load the paper in the printer, please load paper"
"awkward mother fucker x wants to move their computer 2 inches to the left, please move computer 2 inches to the left"
"thick twat x does not know how to open the cd draw, please install a brain in thick twat x"

FFS

about as complex as it goes was recieving new pc's off dell, networking them up and installing an image using norton ghost.

whoopty fucking do. hardly taxing is it boys? :/

i'l tell you one thing though. if i ever have to move another lotus notes account, i'll shoot every bastard in the room.

Working as IT tech support for quite a lot more than £50 a week, where most of the other office occupants are web/sql developers of one form or another. Much more liberating than the sack of shit it sounds like you got Tris, but at the same time the end users of the various sites we offer are "..."

Had one from some Nigerian dude a couple of months back, let's see if I can find the support ticket (yes, I am that bored)...

HAHA!

I support another company were in partnership with and had some bloke call up from Glasgow for support and he kept rabbiting on in his strong scottish accent (of which I didn't understand a word besides "Kinda like thing" which he said 50 times in one sentence). I had to cover up the phone and put it far away because I couldn't stop laughing.

Glasgow - where they talk at 150mph and are the least understandable accent ever.

Now, bearing in mind that the company I work for offer a variety of web-based psychometric tests for 3rd party companies to use in recruitment - such as numerical reasoning tests, spatial reasoning tests, Personality and Preference Inventory tests, so on and so on.

In particular, we also offer a 'Verbal reasoning' test, designed to assess how well a candidate can reason out the meaning of a complicated question/task.

EMAIL SUBJECT: TEST WORK
BODY: Hello there i need to know weather we are doing the verble on the computer speaker.

Epic fail :D

... and just got another one. Guy gets stuck on a 'loading page' error message for 40 minutes, sends an email to tech support asking why. I ask him to try refreshing the page/log in again, he replies "Oh sorry can't do that at the moment, we are having network problems."

...

Seriously, people wonder why most mornings I struggle to get out of bed.

I don't work with taxes - I work with keeping people's "details" up to date in the government register, as well as granting legal permits for getting married, getting buried, etc. Also, I don't work for the British government, but the Swedish, so sadly I still wouldn't know. My advice is to either call your tax office or go visit them. They're usually quite friendly and helpful (at least in Sweden!) :)
