Ughhh...network admin time

One of the worst part of being a software guy is that everyone assumes you'd in turn be good at network admin / pc support tasks.  And the kicker is you probably are, but being the network admin sucks, and they are just tedious tasks.  The network admin can very well get out of doing something by pushing it off to a programmer by saying “sorry, I don't program.”  Someone asks what's wrong with their PC, I can't say “sorry, I don't know” because then I get a funny look and the question “I thought you were good with computers.” 

We have a crappy copy machine.  Ok, not crappy, but not a consistent copy machine.  And I was having trouble with it.  Our sales people were amazed I didn't know how to fix the thing.  The reason: it has a LCD screen on it.
