Yeah, well, we'll cure him of that eventually. Right now, he still thinks he runs IT. And he IS smart. But he has NOT documented any where near as much as he thinks he has, and worse, what he has documented is woefully out of date. But we'll sort all that out over time.

Fortunately, my boss doesn't try to fix computer problems himself - he just freezes and yells for help. Of course, completely unable/unwilling to recall what he just did to cause the problem .... they just seem to happen by themselves ...

Oh, yeah. We know THAT canard. "I didn't touch anything", and "Honest, I didn't change anything", and "No, I can't imagine how that got there. I certainly didn't install it."

Of course, as previously noted, he does try to fix physical/mechanical things, and has been known to completely derange the postage meter by simply trying to stamp one letter ....

Fortunately, all things mechanical in the office are under the direct physical control and maintenance of the Administrative Assistant, who is an absolute JEM.

Deep breathing, frequent trips to MobileRead, and medicinal Talisker will help.

Especially medicinal Talisker. Though I admit, last night it was a waste of good whisky. I suspect almost anything would have served the purpose. But one must maintain at least SOME standards.
