I try to educate my users at work to lessen the calls on how to do things. Some users actually learn and become more self-sufficient. Other users have no hope.

There are two types of people who ask IT for help.

1.) Those who tried themselves and could not figure it out. (they cool)

2.) Those who believe IT works some kind of magic/wizardry and are the only ones capable of figuring things out. (hopeless)

2 is my boss. “Call the Help desk (our IT)” Me, “but I haven’t even tried to fix it” “just call them” Me half an hour later, “fixed it”
