Q: When is an MCSE not an MCSE?
A: When said MCSE can't add a workstation to the domain.
The only thing more aggravating than someone who is supposedly qualified being unable to perform fairly mundane tasks, is someone who is unable to discern right from left, such as in this conversation I was unfortunate enough to be in recently:
User: "So where is the 'Show Desktop' button in this new Windows 7?"
Me: Windows 7 isn't new... but I'll let that pass "It's at the bottom right of your desktop. It's a little clear rectangle now. It's hard to see if you didn't know it was there."
User: "Well, I don't see it."
Me: "It's to the right of the time and date on your system tray."
User: "All I see is an icon for the network and speakers."
Me: "You're looking to to the left of the time and date. Look to the right."
User: "All I see are icons for my applications and the Start button."
Me: Really? Is this happening? "You're still moving to the left. You need to move all the way to the right."
User: "I can't go any further to the right after the Start button."
Me: Your spacial orientation has suffered a catastrophic failure. Please bang your head against the desk until it corrects itself "That's because you're moving to the left. The left. You need to go to the right."
User: "Oh! There it is."
Me: AAAAARGH!"
