What? The whole charm of the IT crowd is that it’s pretty spot on for how IT people act with each other. It’s hyperbolic for sure but I felt like it was the most authentic representation of tech people in the media.
Someone writing on that show had to have worked IT at some stage.
A lot of things that happened in that show resonated with my IT support experience.
The fucking unplugged pc.
(And the graveyard shift goth)
My old boss called me, said please come to my office... my laptop will not turn on and I cannot figure it out.
I get there, he tells me to please help him, he is probably being stupid.
I look at his laptop, I see his charger plugged in, I follow it down the desk, across the floor all the way to the wall socket where the plug lies...
He had walked the charger's plug to the wall socket and just left it on the ground.
I plug it in, he sees me do this, laptop turns on, I leave.
