here's one for ya...
I'm in IT-someone at work wants me to work on their new home computer...
no sorry that's your problem I tell them-"but I do work on it-aren't you required to fix it."
that would be a "no."
always this kind of stuff... then at X-mas none of them can bother to get ya even a candy bar...
RD, I to am in I.T., and hear this same rap. Its not as bad now that I no longer work the help desk, but what you described is definately not an exaggeration.
