“Unveiling the Truth: 19 Eye-Opening Misconceptions About Professional Life You Never Knew Existed!”
Hardly anyone hears about the love and patience, acceptance and humility the people I support teach me and give me every day.
Tech support. We didn’t start out angry..
1. Turn it off, then turn it on again. No, we’re not lazy that really does solve a majority of problems. And no, shutting off your monitor is not shutting down your computer.
2. When we ask you if it’s plugged in, follow the cord all the way from your computer to the wall.
3. If the computer gives you a message with an error code, WRITE IT DOWN OR TAKE A SCREENSHOT.
4. Describe the problem, but only what is necessary. I don’t care why you were emailing your aunt. I do care about the message that popped up when you clicked Send.
5. If I come to look at your computer, get out of the way. No, I cannot fix anything if you are sitting in your chair in front of your computer.
6. Printer problem? Take it out back and shoot it. I would rather work on anything else before printer problems.
Vegetable farmer. We get so many applicants wanting to “connect to the soil”, yet have never touched a shovel before. So many people don’t seem to understand that farming is manual labor with long hours and hardship every day. And It’s all just to limp by. We aren’t making much money.
Software engineer here. No, we can’t just “hack into anything” and no, we can’t fix your printer. We’re not tech support. We live in a world of code, not hardware.
Hair stylist, if “anyone” could cut hair why did you all have terrible haircuts during Covid? You have to take into account the head shape, hair texture, cowlicks, deviation in hair color.
It’s not easy and it’s really hard on your body.
Call center customer service agent (telecom). For the last 12 years I’ve had to hold the hand of thousands of customers through the phone. It’s not an easy job. I have to remember the specs of all the new cellular devices, all the codes for our ancient DOS base AS400 system and above all that, I have to deal with people who have issues breathing and speaking at the same time. It’s exhausting, at the end of the day my body is awake and ready but my mind is mush, oh and I do it in 2 languages.
Fire Sprinkler Designer here: Fire Sprinkler water IS NOT clean and clear like the movies depict…That water more than likely has been in those pipes for decades and is filled with corrosion and cutting oil. As soon as a sprinkler goes off, you are getting doused with black tar water…
Writer,
Their eyes are green because that’s the color I thought of when I built the character. It’s not that deep most of the time.
