I am usually a pretty smart girl. I know my way around computer software, I'm Microsoft certified for fucks sake.
At work a girl made one singular change to an access query that jacked up exactly 9 tables, and 15 linked queries that we base countless reports on.
blah blah, boring computer talk, and software lingo no one cares about.....etc...etc...
I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out why it happened, and then I thought to myself "self, you work for a ginormous company, and there is an entire department dedicated to backing up everything you do".
*So, I called the help desk, and had the freaking file restored to the way it was yesterday at 5:00pm. Cue celebratory music, people lifting me up on their shoulders, and carrying me around, a corporate hero......I earned my salary today with that one. That's why I'm the boss.
Today I am thankful for people way smarter than me, and, that lovely 4 digit extension I can call any time I, or someone I know fucks something up.
I wish there was a help desk extension for life. Imagine how awesome I would look then!
*(This also comes in handy when you "accidentally move a folder full of stuff somewhere because you clicked on it, and have no idea where it wound up. Not that I know first hand or anything.)

I wish that there were a help desk for life, too. But at least the real one came to your rescue this time.
