Friday Fun: You Might be an IT Service Desk Geek If …

The IT service desk is the mecca of awesome. And, the people within the service desk have unique characteristics that you can’t help but love. Now, we don’t want to be too cliché, but remember the old Jeff Foxworthy, “you may be a redneck if ….” jokes? Here are a few for the tech geek in you.

If your computer system is worth more than your vehicle (and runs faster too) …. you may be a service desk geek.

If you laugh at your friends for naming their cars, but you have named every computer, server, and mobile device you own (most of them bearing names like Spock, Gandalf, or Anakin) …. you may be a service desk geek.

If you absolutely refuse to own a “For Dummies” book, even if you have to sneak to the local library and peek at the pages sometimes …. you may be a service desk geek.

Zoolander GIF

If you’ve ridiculed a loved one for their inability to program their thermostat or set up their new Blu-ray player …. you may be a service desk geek.

If you’ve corrected a computer salesperson in the middle of their sales pitch in a store you’ve never even been to before …. you may be a service desk geek.

If you’re more helpful to your fellow shoppers at Best Buy or Staples than the people who actually work there …. you may be a service desk geek.

SNL Gif

If you judge every business you walk into by the computer system behind their sales counter …. you may be a service desk geek.

If you know more of your friends’ IP addresses than their actual phone numbers …. you may be a service desk geek.

If your laundry basket regularly produces more thumb drives than socks or underwear …. you may be a service desk geek.

If you keep up with what the weather’s like outside via an app instead of a window …. you may be a service desk geek.

Groundhog Day GIF

If you actually type and print your shopping list before visiting the store for Red Bull and frozen pizzas …. you may be a service desk geek.

If all your T-shirts read, “Property of the [insert name of town here] Institute of Technology” …. you may be a service desk geek.

If you email the person in the next room instead of calling out or simply getting up and walking in there to speak to them …. you may be a service desk geek.

If you’ve actually spent good money to buy a gadget for no purpose other than hacking it …. you may be a service desk geek.

If you have a junkyard of old, outdated computer parts, networking devices, and various and sundry wires and cables somewhere in your apartment, back room, basement or parents’ basement …. you may be a service desk geek.

IT Crowd GIFIf you laugh out loud at your friends for buying packaged, off-the-shelf computer systems like Dell or Macintosh …. you may be a service desk geek.

If your neighbors are more likely to invite you over to provide them with technical support than for dinner …. you may be a service desk geek.

If you believe that caffeine is the most important food group …. you may be a service desk geek.
