Tech Support Haikus - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

JStrider · 11-10-2006, 10:54 AM

I work tech support at my school... going around helping professors with various computer problems they have.

we use this helpdesk system called "Track-It!"

the other day a coworker and I decided we were going to start answering the calls with haiku poems(no customers see the calls, only employees)

I've written a good number now and I figured It would be fun to share them.

About cables

made longer cable
installed longer cable
done making cables

may not be mobo
maybe monitor issue
loose cable tightened

Email

too many emails
inbox is completely full
told her delete emails

printer paper for the lab

paper delivered
lab doesn't need any more
all is good for now

Motherboard

computer rebooted twice
Just wanted to let us know
suspect motherboard

a dell two eighty
trying to take off like jet plane
a dead motherboard

Not in office

He was not present
Unable to fix problem
Yellow Note was left

Still not in office
Try again another day
will try again soon

called the number
only the machine answered
a message was left

he called us back
he is going to borrow the cd
install and return

Printer problems

The printer was shared.
Restarted the host computer.
Printer is working.

computer was fine
his printer was the problem
see his printer call

a cat five cable
is what she needs for printer
twenty feet in length

cable was delivered
five feet short it was it worked
longer is better

LOL! Mundane things sound so deep and profound in haiku form. I think this is my favourite:

It's kind of sweet.

Nice to see you giving an artistic touch to your job.

I might steal one for my English class in the future. Just an FYI

I love this one. And the funny thing is... that happened in our office last week. I wish my IT department could be this humorous about their jobs.

it really does make the calls more fun...I'll be working on a call and trying to figure out the syllables for the haiku for the call

fredweena, they might be... just not where you can see...

yeah. I usually just make fun of people behind their backs when I am done fixing something, I don't think I have ever waxed poetic about it though... gj
