I have a degree in the Computer Engineering from the UofA - not like it helps at all in my current job as Exchange Administrator except I have a fancy ass degree on my wall with a big gold sticker next to my CCNA and MCSE certs.

Plus, most engineers I know are douchbags - a couple are really good but most are not. Classic conversation with an engineer.

IT Overlord: I am installing a network install of AutoCAD on your laptop, which means that if you are not connected to our network via VPN, or if you dont reserve a license before you leave then AutoCAD wont work. Instructions on how to do both are located on the public drive, I will also email them to you - email sent.

Engineering jacktard: No problem, thanks, now let me get back to thinking I work for GM or Ford designing cars instead of designing oilfield equipment.

Week later...

Engineering jacktard: Yo, IT loser, i was at home on the weekend and couldnt open up AutoCAD.

IT Overlord (I already know the answer but I like to have people of supposed above average intelect figure it out for them selves): Did you reserve a license before you left or did you logon to VPN

Engineering jacktard: I tried to open it, and it didnt work and I needed to work on some drawings so I had to come in on Saturday cause you didnt answer your cell phone.

IT Overlord: Did you reserve a license before you left or did you logon to VPN - also, I work on Salary, not hourly and dont get paid OT, so I only answer calls on the weekend from people who I think could get be fired if they bitch enough. If you would have left a VM I would have responded via Email.

Engineering jacktard: I tried to open it, and it didnt work and I needed to work on some drawings for a new customer in YingYang so I had to come in on Saturday cause you didnt answer your cell phone.

Engineering jacktard: ummm.

IT Overlord: Hangs up.
