Do you ever get the urge to punch a wall after talking to someone who you know full well is paid vastly more money than you but doesn't grasp the basic concepts of his job?
Like the "Network Engineer" who once asked me whether an IP address is like an email address...
Or the idiot "network consultant" I have just had who asked why his customers email had stopped working after he asked me to change his name-servers to another ISP...
Fine these concepts won't be familiar to the average user. But these are supposed to be industry specialists. And this is BASIC stuff.

I work in a college and you wouldn't believe the amount of idiots there are in teaching staff that have no concept of support staff roles (like me!) You wouldn't believe a lot of the stories we have here about incompetance.
But luckily the support staff are so tight here we often openly mock the teachers! I'm not saying all teachers are like this (before one jumps down my throat!) but a lot of them do tend to look down on us.

Are you sure they're not testing you to see if you know your job?

[glow=red,2,300] Yeah.. but what if you were a machine! Or at least had robot bits, then you could go on a kill crazy rampage and make all those muddy-funksters pay!
That's what I would do if I was part machine...

My manager is a total moron who knows sweet FA about her role and just gets me to do everything.
I want to staple her flaps to a train and send her off to some place distant.

[glow=red,2,300] My line-management at the moment is 100% fantastic... which I give thanks for every day.
A few years ago I worked in a book shop, where I had a falling out with the management chain for several reasons, which ended up with me accusing them of sexual discrimination (heh!).
On one particular day I walked in to the shop to find the manager in my History section re-organising all the books...
...into alphabetical order by author...
Think about it. [/glow]
