GITGAMING

This is more of a "cool story, bro". 
 
I took a vacation day off work to be a guest speaker at my son's middle school. I taught several classes of 6th and 7th graders on desktop PC parts and how to build them. 
 
First, I gave a PowerPoint presentation to discuss the various parts and their role/purpose. Then, after a Q&A session, I had enough time to give about half of the class some hands-on training (after school, I showed the teacher how to assemble and disassemble so she could help the other students the next day who didn't get a chance). Using old Dell and HP desktop PCs from the XP and Vista days, I showed them how to remove the heatsink/fan, CPU, motherboard, RAM, and HDD. There was no GPU. Also, for safety reasons, I removed the power supply in advance. After assisting them on how to take it apart, I let them take turns putting it back together. 
 
Other than a couple of students who were obviously bored, majority of them were excited and learned pretty quickly. It was a fun day to teach them something I enjoyed doing. 

When I worked in first line support, I had a user call me who was based on the other end of the country. She told me that she had lost her laptop.
 
"Do you know where it is?", she asked me.
 
Take that in for a moment.... At least 300 miles away from me, never met her before, never been in her office at all.
 
"Do you know where it is?"
 
She called back roughly 30 mins later and told me she had worked it was in the cupboard, but it was locked.
 
"How do I open the cupboard?"

Them - "hey I need advice on buying a computer"
Me - "sure id be happy to help you pick something out or ill build a great computer for you"
*week later*
Them - "yeah, i just decided to buy a computer from Best Buy"
Me "......................."

Here's a simplified version :P
