stormdogI'm signing up to download an evaluation version of Windows 2003 Server R2 and, of course, I have to fill out the fun little survey about who I am, where I work, and what I do.
One of the choices for my primary job function within my company, among things like Analyst, Manager, Sysadmin, DBA, and others, was the following gem: "Unofficial IT person". What, is that like, that girl over there who isn't really in IT but everybody asks her how to make their spreadsheets look right? (Yes dear one, that's a nod to you. *grins*)
Of course we all know that such people are out there. They can be very helpful and save us techies a lot of work, or they can be entirely clueless and and make triple the trouble of any other user. I just find the fact that this choice is right there in the listing in Microsoft's form very amusing.
On a completely unrelated note, the more I use this flat screen monitor, the more I think that I really need to replace my second CRT with one. The difference is impressive. I think I'll be a little more conservative than my brother though; he just used left over money from his college grants, after paying off his tuition for this year, to buy a brand new 32" flat screen. You can already tell that this boy is destined to be a lawyer. I just hope if I'm ever in trouble, I get him to represent me.
