I started working in IT recently at a school and I saw some emails

Anyways, I just thought you guys might get a kick out of these. This is the last one I have, though while there there was also a teacher that asked what she should do about spam.

Someone give this poor man an ipv6 address.

Nothing wrong with this if it's ITs job to move electronic equipment.

Its really easy to move TVs around though, and saying the IT department should stop what its doing to help a busy Maintenance doesn't really make sense when IT is busy too.

you have to understand that most teachers have no idea what anything is, unless they're science or tech teachers

i got called to a room to investigate a flat screen that didn't work and no one bothered to check that it was plugged in, which it wasn't

and I don't even work in IT they just consider me the person in the department who knows equipment

A lot of this could be just CYA. For example, I wouldn't want to move the TV myself, then something completely unrelated breaks with it later, and I get blamed because I was the last person to touch it.

Also, since we're talking schools here, it could also be union related. Unions will flip their shit if you so much as look at something that's someone else's job. (I once worked at a unionized shipping company. I was eating lunch at my desk and accidentally spilled a bunch of popcorn on the floor. Because my parents raised a mensch, I cleaned up after myself. I later got yelled at for "stealing" the janitor's work. Yes, they really did expect me to just leave it on the floor until the janitor got in and started his shift.)

I'm assuming this is your first IT job
You will learn soon enough that almost everyone you encounter are either so illiterate at tech that they would call a Ethernet cable a Wi-Fi cord or the person will think that they know what they're doing and will be sort of an annoying backseat driver.
If you are getting bored of the questions and you want to spice things up, you can reply with a low ball joke, so for the person who asked for a longer internet code ask, "how long would you like your internet code?" Don't get too cocky or you might get reported and pulled to the side

I had to help a loan officer with her wireless mouse. I left my office to go all the way downstairs. She had already replaced the batteries but the mouse was still dead. Oh no!

Turns out she had put the AA batteries in backwards.

Not computer related, but some dumbfuck I know ruined a jumper box and large battery because he mixed up the positive and negative clamps on his lawnmower's battery.
Too bad that didn't kill him.
