Tales from Tech Support

What is?

"We need all the display screens on site to show channel XYZ immediately"

Holy shit why what happened?

"It's the England match!!"

.....what?

"It's the World Cup match England vs (I don't care)!!"

You want me to set every single display to tune in to a television station, in a commercial setting without the required license to do so, in place of the stat counters and statistics information they were installed for?

"Yes!!"

Sorry can't help you...

"You don't understand! If we don't display it everyone just watches on their phones secretly under their desk and productivity tanks! This is a morale booster and encourages (corporate newspeak for "we're a family"), we need you to do this HIGHEST PRIORITY!!!!!"

....I can't help you even if i wanted to. Try the Estates team, it's nothing to do with IT.

Fuck you you made me think something important had happened. I thought we'd declared war. Or the queen had died and we'd be getting another bank holiday.
