Help Desk Talk Relaunched

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Ian Landsman announced yesterday that he’s rolling out the Help Desk Talk forums for another go ’round. I thought it was a great idea to have a board dedicated to help desk workers the first time he launched it, but it never really took off. Here’s hoping this one finds it’s wings.

Even though I don’t work at the help desk any more, I still think it’s a great idea, and plan to drop in from time to time to keep in touch with the end-user support community.

    On Friday I went out after work with some of coworkers. It was one of our office assistant’s last day working for the Firm, and she was someone I’ve always gotten along with pretty well. Since she took it upon herself to specifically mention to me where they were going and since I really had…

    Speaking of big stinks, I just had to replace a monitor upstairs. I knew as soon as I hit that hallway that it had shorted, the odor was a definite give away. Luckily we had an extra sitting at an empty cubicle, so I didn’t have to run out and buy one on the spot….
