Kind of like how Jon Snow is good at killing people, but hates it. My two are printer maintenance and end-user support.

    Fantastic at finding out the root cause but pains me every time I do it.

    But do you have a good 'brood' face like Jon Snow? Also, the great fashion sense?

    Harassment.

    (Just kidding. My face must be something because I've been told that it would make a freight train take a dirt road. I don't think it was complimentary.)

    No no, I meant to brood like Jon Snow. Looking out in the distance looking sad and forlorn. Not like a 'broad' (like me..) or a broad face. icon_wink.gif

    Years in IT have soured me, how about that?

    I'm glad someone finds them easy. They definitely absorb my time.

    I'm too good with end users. All the nice things and funny jokes I say just come out even when I'm annoyed beyond belief. It's a curse, I tell ya.

    Not dropping a problem until it's fixed. I find that managers pick up on this trait they'll dig up tickets like "open 130 days" or "status: unresolved" and shove them into my queue

    I get that all the time, not for tickets but through email. Why is this records this or why is this showing up pending.......

    It can get overwhelming sometimes.
