(no subject)
I did NOT just leap through the computer and rip the IT guy's face off for informing me (after fixing what I actually asked him to fix on the server-side) that our main printer is low on toner and he can set up a service call to get that fixed if I don't know how to -- set up the service call, that is; me not knowing how to order or change the toner was assumed. I don't know how much of it was mansplaining and how much was "IT is superior to all lesser beings", but who in the hell does he think has been maintaining that printer for the last seven damn years?!? Who in the hell doesn't know how to change a damn toner cartridge? What competent office manager doesn't know how to order new %^&$%^ toner?
I limited myself to informing him that the printer asks for toner two months before it actually needs it, in hopes of forcing us to waste money buying toner we don't need; that I will replace it when we do need to; and that I will then order more, none of which requires a service call. His response was to stammer a nervous, "Heh, good one" and slink away before I could finish destroying him.
Which I want props for not actually doing. But someday, I swear to god, I am going to fly to Toronto with a Nerf bat and other assorted Nerf weaponry and destroy that entire department. And then I'm going to take down A/P. Yes.
