obviously the biggest problem is nobody thought to actually include in the process that the whole point of it was to fix the bloody problem and not just to create a nice paper trail so some pointless fu<kwith can imply they have some sort of control

Don;t get me started...

M8. To be honest. You would have tulip your pants, said sorry sir, then when I had gone told everyone that that bloke was lucky he was 3 seconds away from me putting his head through the wall. You would have then looked smug, sat back down, put your headphones and logged into Youtube.

Cough.

If I wanted to talk to people, I wouldn't have gone into I.T.

People smell, carry disease, and have problems. And want to talk about them. <shudder>

But as soon as you start telling them about the psoriasis scab on your scrotum, all of a sudden they change their tune.

People. Pah! Selfish bastards, the lot of them.

No kidding, I usually send the email while I'm on the phone or as soon as I get back from speaking in person.
Depending on the place I might even offer to do the reboot myself if they're too busy
