O my brothers and O my sisters of the company for which I work:

If I have only just arrived at the office, and my jacket is off my back and arms but not yet hung up in the closet, I expect to be allowed to finish hanging the jacket up. I do not expect to be informed of a tech support issue. There are other tech support folk here, and you may ask them; they arrive earlier than I do, and leave earlier. Should you require assistance from me, and not them, you may ask help for the following before I hang up my jacket:

1. Fire.
2. Kaiju.
3. Electromagnetic pulse.
4. Virus.

You will note that 'the scanners aren't letting two people in Accounting scan documents' is not on that list.

BREATHE, people.

The phrase that my girlfriend uses quite a bit is "Nobody's bleeding"

A tech support friend from my undergraduate days used to follow up that statement with a muttered '...although that can be arranged.'

So nice to be wanted, no?

*shudder* You poor thing. Coffee?

If I were looking for help in dealing with any of items 1-4, I'd definitely come to you.

I'm reminded of children tugging at a sleeve. "Mommy, mommy, mommy!"

Hoo boy.

I get that sometimes and I just stand there and repeat "I still have my coat on" in reply to each query.

I'm not very good at the people stuff :)
