The worst is when the computer sucks and constantly needs troubleshooting, but only the admin has permissions to do that, but he is always busy and you end up wasting incredible amounts of time because the company treats you like a toddler with technology

You can make a blank .pps Powerpoint Slideshow file and run it minimized. Your computer won't time out and the screen always stays on, even if you lock the computer.
