Work Humor, I Guess?

 

So 20 minutes after my supervisor leaves for the day and goes on vacation, one of our systems stops working, of course. 

Our supervisor usually does this for us, but I knew where to go to put in a ticket for IT, so I did.

Thinking we were good, I then reread the description of the problem when it sent me a copy of the ticket via email.

So ... the original message said something like ... 

"Unable to access Program X. Doctor waiting for association of this report with a new order."

So ... it turns your description into the ticket title.

And it truncates it. 

Guess where?

""Unable to access Program X. Doctor waiting for ASS."

What the ???

DOCTOR.WAITING. FOR ASS?!?

Anyone's ass in particular or will any ole' ass do?

😂😂😂

Sigh.

OMG, I'm an idiot!

I chatted with my team -  embarrassed, but simultaneously finding this situation hilarious.

"OMG, you guys? Look what my ticket says, it truncated the message"  *Sigh* 😂 .. and I copy-pasted the truncated version.

Then I posted this GIF, which they found hilarious, used to my general goofballedness by now  ...

😂😂😂!!!

Good thing my coworkers are cool and have good senses of humor!

My supervisor does, too, and as my coworker pointed out, she'll get a kick out of it later.

So at that point, I could only hope the IT tech did, too (gulp).

Just in case, I left a comment under the ticket with the full sentence, apologized for the truncated version, and a small "lol," hoping for the best. 

Good news, I be saved - I guess someone else reported it before our department, because it was fixed 20 minutes later and my ticket was never viewed, so I closed it - WHEW! 😂

Hey, I never claimed to be smooth, did I?

Just solve the problem! 😂
