their Masters or pHD they know how everything operates, what is wrong,
what needs to be done to fix it and everything they say that's
supposed to be a joke is funny. A co-worker and I tried to get a DVD
play working for a professor during a class. It turns out the drive is
bad and there wasn't enough time for us to relace it. Not a big deal
but every minute he would stop lecturing to ask me if it's going to
work. After the first three times of telling him I'm running through
my troubleshooting procedure it started to get annoying. He kept
reminding me that he had his boots on and he can try to fix it
followed by a chuckle. When we determined it was a bad drive and told
him we would have to check if we had any spares on hand he informed us he
would be calling our higher ups to make sure we had one installed by his
next class but this was not any reflection on us. Why doesn't a
college professor have a backup plan for when, not if, the technology
he was going to use doesn't work? Computers break, DVDs get scratched
and won't play, sometimes replacements cannot be made quickly.
It turns out we have a replacement drive and ail be able to fix it
befre his next class if the drive is the only thing not working.
