Dear IT support
Thanks for your reply
It didn’t really help
In fact it made me cry
I know how to send emails
And I can use Excel
(Though if I’m being honest
I can’t use it very well)
But when things just stop working
I don’t know what to do
And that is why I have to
Come and bother you
Some things are just beyond me
No doubt one of my flaws
But I cannot do my job
Until you start to do yours
So maybe you could just
Reset my password like I need
And with a bit less sarcasm
And a little bit more speed
It’s not like you’re all that busy
I don’t know why this is such a pain
All you seem to do all day
Is switch things off then on again
James Proclaims! 
Dear Sir, thank you
We’re endeavouring to
Help you muddle through
Since that’s what we’re paid to do,
And you’re twenty third in the queue.
Sir, I see your monthly payment’s overdue-
No, don’t call us, Big Bazza’s gonna call on you.

Thankfully most of my IT problems happen in work and the chances of that Big Bazza getting out of his chair are remote.

I hate calling computer support. Thanks goodness, either I’ve gotten better or computers have and I’ve not needed them in a long while. I only call if it needs an exorcism. Computers are great when they work, but maddening when they don’t.

Often I know how to fix the problem myself and then this little box pops up telling me that I don’t have ‘permission’ and have to contact the ‘systems administrator’ who then just send me me passive aggressive emails telling me to try the thing that I don’t have permission to do…

Our helpdesk at work was pretty good. I knew how to get in their system and fill out a ticket so once it was in the system, they had to come work on it.

It’s fair to say ours is not very good. Or especially nice.

Beautiful. I wonder what any IT workers in your audience will have to say.

It’ll take them 24-48 hours to respond so I’m not too worried

It takes years of training and decades of experience before you can turn something off and on again in the correct sequence.

I don’t doubt it. It’s take me many years to master the art of seeming really knowledgeable about things I barely understand but I get away with it all the time now.

IT people are like medieval priests. They talk to Cyber God in a special language and if you don’t do what they tell you, you end up excommunicated in Cyber Hell. Good luck.
