A new hire was starting today and could not connect to the internet. I called the IT guy. He came and got flustered because I plugged in my laptop (WIFI here comes and goes sometimes and I need to work with a stable connection) and my tower. I might add that there are 3 plugs for internet so currently there is still one empty, so there is space for my 2 devices and the device of the new hire. The IT guy came and yelled at me because the internet cable of that vacant computer was unplugged (I mean he has hands and eyes he could have just plugged it in, story over... but well.. logic escapes people sometimes, I suppose.). I explained to him that the cleaning lady, when sweeping, tends to unplug the internet cables in the morning and it is common that they need to be plugged in. I said, since there is currently no one sitting there it was not being monitored. He told me I was disrespecting the work of others and how did I expect this new hire to connect. I said, there is still an open plug, we just need to put the plug in the hole. He stormed out and told me he didn't want to speak to me more than necessary. This happened 2 hours ago now, and it is still bothering me. I don't consider myself a disrespectful person at all, in fact the opposite. Currently, I have been alone in the office, which is why I used 2/3 plugs. I would not have had a problem disconnecting anything if asked.
*sigh*
I am sure he is stressed and was just taking it out on me. But still, some people need to take a chillpill. I left the house this morning with a smile under the sunshine to start the week well and this has certainly clouded up my mood.
okay /rantover
