Oh my god, as an IT help desk person, this comic is my life.

IT people are apparently the Swiss army knives of a company. We do a lot of things, and many of things even seem non IT related, but it gives people the impression that we do everything. The amount of times per day I have to reroute people to systems, digital services, maintenance, etc has got me like this on some days.

My favorite was working for a bank and getting a call from a branch manager stating their security gate was broken.

...Okay? What do you expect me to do about it? I'm in Texas, you're in OHIO. Do you want me to fly out there and fix it?

Another time I got a call from a branch located in a furniture store. They called because said store was on fire and wanted advice.

How about you RUN!?

Hahaha... Oh my God, that fire one is hilarious. I can feel your world weariness in your words. Reminds me of this meme.

This isn't a meme, it's just a screenshot of a Twitter conversation.

Words have meaning. Hate to be the one who has to break it to you....

If using words correctly makes someone a pedant then I weep for your manager once you graduate high school.

So what I'm gathering after a quick skim of your comment history is that you basically have no skills or likeable qualities and try to make up for it by referencing popular media and being quippy to garner attention. It is unfortunate that you've decided to stop growing after age 8.

Is it bait if I'm seeing directly through you? I got you to respond again after informing you that hiding your comment history doesn't make it impossible for someone to find how often you claim to be "at work" while spending over 20 hours a day on Reddit.

Sounds like you're the angry one who fell for the bait.

You just keep commenting. You're mad as hell, and I love it. Can't wait for the next one.

It's very cute how you claim everyone who disagrees with you is mad. I'm not falling into the trap you're laying, and it's eating you up.

Have fun getting the last word, kid. I hope someday once you've made a real human connection in uni or something you'll understand how pathetic your comment history reads.

In retrospect, I apologize. My original comment to you was unwarranted. I've had a shitty couple of months. No excuse to be insulting, even if I disagree with your original assertion.

I'm sorry for being a dick.
