Here's a conversation that I just had that makes me glad today is Friday:

"I'm not sure if I'm having a problem or not."

"What happened"

"AutoCAD popped up a message. It looked like an error message."

"What did it say?"

"Well, I don't really know. I just clicked ok."

Somebody please shoot me now...

no no no.....this is the one that I always get!
"My computer or AutoCAD cad is locked up"
"what did it do?"
"It stopped loading the dwg"
"How long did you wait?"
"I don't know a few minutes"
Go to the users machine, open file and it opens in a couple minutes.
"Next time try to be a little more patient!"

I think you may have used the wrong word John.

Instead of "know" I'm thinking the better choice may have been "care". 🙂

It may be you that fixes it, but they should take it upon themselves to
discover the "why" behind their need.

Especially when the amount of KBs exceed the user's age? 🙂

Or maybe that's "knowledge base" instead of "age".

Me: "It means the print heads aren't aligned."

True - but why waste a (possibly) perfectly good machine.

I guess that might depend on how many "add-ons" have found their way into

Maybe that points to a need for a protracted period of silence - whilst you
think through the words you choose to respond with to the situation at hand.

Especially if the Boss shows up on a "proximity check". 🙂

I hope your cubicle walls aren't barely allowing air-flow over their tops.
