    Re: MFP/IT Technician.

    At a previous job the image on one of the monitors got flipped 180 degrees. The IT guy sat down and checked it out for a minute or less. His solution was to turn the monitor over so the monitor was upside down but the image was right side up and say we needed a new video card and walk away.
    I wasn't a copier tech at the time, just a lowly cell sales clerk. I sat down at the computer, opened up the video card settings and after about five minutes I found a setting to flip image 180 degrees and somehow it had gotten turned on. I turned off the 180 degrees setting and all was well.
    That was my first introduction to the laziness of IT guys. Not many have proved this stereotype otherwise for me.
    I do know a couple IT guys that are willing to go the extra mile, but they are in the minority in my little part of the world.

      Why do they call it common sense?

      If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?
