Rossi SMASH!

Apologies to my friends here who work in IT, but my god do I want to strangle ours right now.

See, our lawyers all got new Blackberries delivered yesterday. Bibi arranged for the Tech Guy to come around and sync them all up and oversee the transfer, given a) it's lawyers and b) I'm considered the most tech-savvy of th support staff. Scary indeed. It was kind of lucky, since Jane was due in today and could sort it out in the morning. Provided, of course, the Tech Guy showed up.

*grfs*

He didn't. Jane and I spent two hours on the phone with the help desk, trying to sync the bloody thing up, only to be eventually told "I'm sorry, I can't help you any more." Two hours of my life I'll never get back. Jane left the new Blackberry behind, with instructions to courier it to her as soon as it was synced up. No worries, I thought, the Tech Guy will be here soon. I'll have to wait for lunch until they do.

*grfs again*

1:45, I'm dying of hunger, so down here I come. To discover there's very little actual food left, since, hey, it's the end of the bloody lunchhour! I've managed something, but my god am I pissed off now. And what's the bet the bastard won't show up at all today, leaving Jane sans Blackberry until then? The Blackberry that's just her lifeline to this place when she's on the road.

*stabs IT with a fork*

AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR THEM. *growls* Fucking government departments...

Ew. Is there an IT Manager you can call to complain?

[deathpixie]

4:45 and STILL NO SIGN. And no, no point calling to complain, I'll just get put through the hoops again to even speak to a human being, and then they'll tell me they're "doing their best". *growls* I'm going to have to email Jane and tell her she doesn't get her BB back yet.

Bastards.

*nods* Yeah. That's really shoddy, mate. I'd send a nasty letter to their complaints department if they have one at least. No good IT Dept would do something like this.

[deathpixie]

Well, it might be Jane that sends the nasty email at this rate. I'll get on their backs tomorrow, because this is ridiculous.

And you know, I don't think they have a complaints department? It's a government department, why would they? It's not like they have to compete for the jobs or anything.

*blech* Government departments are always a little more shoddy then corporations unless run by a Minister who really wants his or her staff to be efficient.
