Some days you win, some days you lose, and some days it’s a draw. This is one of those days that ended in a draw, or so I think.
A while back I was new to the Telephony business, (Telephone stuff) for a larger corporation. I was in charge of programming servers and setting up remote workers with phone service that connected to our internal switch (Phone Server). When agents get ready to go out in the field it is my job to make sure they have the right phone equipment and know how to use it. This would consist of a IP phone, power brick, (power adaptor for the phone), and cables.
On one occasion I found myself short one power brick and had to order one from a vendor. We just send an email and they send the product and bill us. I contacted the rep who I have a good report with and sent out the following email, copying only my manager.
“Do you have any Power Pricks you can send me?” His response was classic.
“Yes we have quite a few of them here, who are you looking for?”
Once again, spell check works, only for spelling!!
