Now our senior engineer has it worked out even better - he had one client pay him 2 hours to train him how to use the new expresso machinehe put in to treat his clients and the lucky sod visits there weekly to 'discuss issues'

Russ, I would just be the extra helpful IT Guy and pop around every so often to ensure everythings running ok to to see if he has any problems.

It happened by accident really:

One user emailed me about a problem and I replied with my usual:

"Let me grab a coffee and i'll be over"

She offered to fetch the coffee for me if I came now.

Whilst fixing it I playfully mentioned she should suggest it to her collegaues as a far to get me there quicker.

I went back to my desk and thought nothing of it till someone later appeared at the door with a coffee and asked if I could have a look at something.

Trick is to make them think they are getting something more by doing it when your just really doing your job.

Since they make extra effort I make extra so i gues they do get more out of me but its a fair trade off.

I dunno about protocol, maybe proctocol or gyenocol?
