Laptop computers are mobile in case you did not know!
If you use a laptop at work and you wish to utilize a laptop at home for business use, then it is assumed that you would just take the business laptop home. I mean, it seems logical. Maybe even common sense. How silly would it be to have a laptop at work and one for home when they are both used for the same purpose?
Well, a few days ago I was proven that there is a lack of common sense. I had a customer call me today asking that a new laptop be setup for their business partner’s home use. Of course, the administrative assistant had to call in because the big time executive is so busy.
The assistant also told me that the data from the current laptop needed to be copied over to the second laptop. What? This could be avoided if the executive actually took his laptop home. Also the company would save money from unnecessary expenses.
I cannot disclose names because I do not really remember the customer’s name. Dealing with over 50 people a day, you tend to forget who you talked to. Although, I can tell you that common sense really lacks at my job. Come to think of it, common sense lacks everywhere I look.
Of course the likelihood of this person coming to my website and reading this is slim. If that person did read this, they would probably agree with me and not realize that this rant is about them.
By the way, my name is Steve. This is not to be confused with Dave, which sounds very similar. Not only do people at my job have no common sense, but they also cannot hear.
