So today was relatively busy. Kept me moving around campus, which I really don't mind, until....

I get a call from the Service Desk on the radio and they tell me "The instructor in W244 is unable to eject the VHS from the VCR." All I could say is "?????!!!!". Okay, I've had problems where the instructor is clueless to how the DVD player or computer works, and they say that they're so behind on technology, but MAN! How far behind are you to not know how to eject a video tape from the player?? Oh, and the tech assist was in building W, all the way across campus.

So after a 10 minute walk to building W, I find the room and enter to assess the situation. Class is already in session at this point, and all eyes are on me. This is usually how it works with these tech calls, you get there and either you fix it, making the instructor look like an absolute fool, or you can't fix it, bringing embarassment on yourself. After one quick glance, I noticed that the VCR isn't plugged in...well, who would have thought that the tape wouldn't eject because the player wasn't even plugged into the power socket? So I plug it in...whaddya know, it ejects immediately! "What did you do?" she says. duh...."Well, looks like your VCR wasn't plugged into the power." says I. Sometimes I just want to let these instructors have it, and give them an earful, but I must contain myself I guess. I just wish them a good class, and go on my merry way.

Well, that was an adventure. I continue on with my regular deliveries/pickups, and eventually make my way back to the office. About an hour later...*ring* *ring*...thats for me...."Hello, this is the Service Desk, I have an instructor in W244 that says the lecturn won't shut down".....

someone just punch me, please.
