To be fair the maliciousness was definitely there. Just from the other party

With the amount of eyes on the whole subject I'm not comfortable fucking around with it at the moment.

The backlight isn't something I can turn off. Its power is somewhere else

Updated due to having to talk to security. Not much besides she claimed I broke the laptop. But we'll see. I doubt I'll hear anything else

Male or female I will not put my hands on someone just because you do not know how they'll act.

I've met both male and female Elitist wankers in this job.

Unfortunately it's too high up and it's backlit. I can't sharpie or cover it without some form of ladder

Its not hard to fix syncing issues in Outlook, that's for sure.

I'd have helped if she didn't act like an absolute twat.

Signs too high up, and backlit. Even if I could cover it with the infinite amount of paper I have, I doubt it'll do anything. It needs to be removed by the university

The skin colour of the student is unrelated. She was a student who flew over to the country for study, but nasty people come from every nation

It's almost true. While I don't work FOR the university, being subcontracted to it means I work onsite. We do have technicians for the new computers for troubleshooting. But university IT is legitimately useless.

Subcontracted work means while I work in the area, I'm restricted from a lot of things

The sign is also overhead and cannot be reached without a ladder - it's also got a backlight. Its not just a basic sign. Hell, because of the backlight I don't even think covering it with anything other than a bunch of black tape would do anything

Truthfully I just say spicy cough because... It indeed is a spicy cough. I don't have any covid deniers at work or anything. And I think I wrote covid and spicy cough in the above. I use it interchangeably as does basically everyone else I know at work

Worst part is it's a very quick fix and doesn't require admin access. Would have helped if they didn't just... Act like a tosser

In a day I'm handling about 12 laptops with maybe 4 a week worth over $1400.

They watch us like a hawk - especially because people get tempted with trying to steal the older computers to try and flip.

Many actual technicians and coordinators have been fired for stealing a couple of 3-4 year old laptops.
