Corporazi.
Starts with me wanting to print a document. I have no printers installed. Go to the printer management screen, add new printer.
Network printer.
The network is very, very large. Apparently I can print documents in Kalamazoo quite easily, but I cannot print to the engineering printer, which is about 30 feet away.
Half an hour spent trying to find the printer on the network. It's very convoluted. Finally I find it.
Install it.
Oops, I need to install a printer driver that is not on the list.
Go see the IT guy.
He asks me to route the request through e-mail.
I don't have an internal e-mail account yet.
So I have to phone the help desk to request an e-mail account. Since it's already in the works, I have to request an expediency thing.
I ask the help desk if I can just get the printer driver installed. They take the order. They call the IT guy I talked to.
He's busy, so he'll get to it when he can.
Feh.
