    I get that there are a lot of non-tech-savvy people in the world.... But isn't it common knowledge that a device should be turned on in order for it to work?? I will seriously never have to worry about having a job in this environment....

    But sometimes the power button just doesn't work. You cant expect them to plug it in and turn it on. Thats just too much.

    I'm right there with you dude.

    Some of the shit people need help with here is just ridiculous.

    "Ok - what is on your screen?"..."Well, there's a picture of my son and my dog Bruno,"..."No, I mean what is displaying on the screen..." :eek:

    The power button did work... Literally drove downtown to hit a power button, and miraculously fixed all their problems...

    FML I need to get away from end users...

    lol

    I've been called out to houses when the outside plugs, kit counter plugs, or bathroom plug isn't working.
    it's amazing how many people don't know how to reset a GFI.

    Yet all these people have drivers licenses and are manuevering deadly weapons around us all day, every day. While texting pictures of their son Bruno and their dog.

    Those kind of tickets are fun. It's when you know the person is dumb enough to actually think there is something wrong when it was just unplugged or not turned on.

    I love these tickets/calls.

    Krap/Chad,

    What ticketing system do you guys use?

    We have an in-house system our engineer built but we're looking at going with ManageEngine for a little more robustness/scalability as well as asset and change management integration.

    We used SpiceWorks for a while which was pretty decent for a free system, but our engineer built a pretty sweet one.

    We're growing to the point where we need something much more robust that we can deploy to all of our new branches rapidly. Our current system requires some SQL tweaking to add new branches whereas a GUI would be much easier.

    We use connectwise for our ticketing system. It's really good, but can get fairly pricey.
