- 4021: One Afternoon

Our minds were very similar in the way we questioned things around us. "Kyle, what would happen if we tomatoed the Dahlman's house?" Ryan asked as we sat on the curb, both of us sucking on a frozen Mr. Freezie juice strip. We sat there for awhile, imagining the old man, stomping out the screen door with his fist raised and yelling at us, threatening to call our mother. Eventually he'd go back inside after he realized he couldn't find us, even though we were crouching behind the nearby pines at the edge of his yard. Still waiting at least ten more minutes (to see if the old crab would emerge from his ...

- 4026: Building A Help Desk
- ... working toward the same end, and, with clearly defined expectations, it will be easier to evaluate whether the help desk has met its goals. One mission statement I might use is "to increase the company's productivity by providing a single point of contact and responsibility for rapid closure of our users' technology problems." My help desk will be a leading edge one that will leverage consolidation, and automation. I want my help desk to bring value to the software life cycle and all of IS's interactions with users. I believe that the role of the help desk is no longer just fixing problems; the best ones act as emergency hotlines and strategic tools. My help desks will guide their IT ... users will have many tools to use to solve the issues that come up. Chances are that most of my customers who call for support/help desk are not technical wizards. (Otherwise they probably wouldn’t need assistance.) It can be hard for them to describe to a tech what’s wrong. I know this is a common situation that other techs and I face on an every day base. ...

Introspection is the reflective examination of one's thought process and sensory experience. From the very first line of "The Dover Bitch," the introspection of the Matthew Arnold s poem is completely deconstructed. The parody is a casual conversation that one might hear in a bar. The speaker could easily be the local bartender in any town. He indulges a listener and begins ...

- Creative Writing: Bob's World "Bobby," yelled his mother in a shrill voice. "Bobby, you have to get up and go to school today!"
