… by Dave from IT Grin

Does anyone always think it sounds vaguely, well, filthy?
Dave: “I’m going to take you over now”
Me:

Please tell me it’s not just me?? 😂

You do know Dave can see what you've just said . . .

There were 4 Daves in my place...none remotely shaggable.

MNing on my phone so I hope he can’t!! 😂

It’s over, I need a fag now Grin

He did it over the Teams chat function this time, not sure about that. Felt like he didn’t even want to hear my voice or see my face 😂 Much prefer being taken over by telephone…

TALK TO ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR FRENCH GIRLS, DAVE

Oh well. Spose I ought to actually DO something now…

The word DAVE just reminds me of Papa Lazarou….

I got remotely taken over by IT, I was sat there for over an hour like a lemon, 'IT Dave' had gone for lunch!

Might have been helpful if he'd told me that Hmm

Alternista · 08/06/2021 12:01

That’s funny but annoying, Glass!

He also said my laptop wasn’t very responsive. I mean, a) your department gave it to me and b) don’t take me over then insult my performance!! Grin

Huh, I’m just about to email Dave from IT. As far as I know he hasn’t been remotely controlling me....

Not as disturbing as being asked to service a committee. That always makes me go all Carry On.

When I was much younger and working in retail we'd occasionally have someone from the IT team at head office take over the till screens to make updates. They wouldn't warn us they were going to do it, the cursor would just start moving. The problem is, these were old slow machines, with an awful internet connection, so moving the cursor across the screen was a painfully slow process for them. And we weren't exactly helpful, we'd wait until the cursor was almost hovering over a button they wanted then nudge the mouse, making them start all over again. Eventually they'd get fed up, open notepad and type "Stop it!" 😂

When I was in secondary school a 17year old lad started working in the IT department. None of our teachers were very tech savvy so the second anything went wrong, 'IT Dave' would swoop in and save the day.

It was an all-girls school, and all us 15year olds would swoon at him from afar. He got the nickname 'FIT Dave'

Years later, I met him from a dating app, didn't recognise him at all. When I found out I joked that all my old school friends would be raging jealous but in truth he didn't live up to the teenage crush, I think we managed three dates!

Dappled, you dirty spoon. I like the cut of your gib. Also LOVING the evil genius of Medusa Grin

I think I’m just infantile. I couldn’t stop sniggering at a memo about an abnormal load last week, either. Grin

When I worked in a library someone referred to "Dave's magic wand" for scanning the books. I laughed inappropriately for quite some time.

Alternista · 08/06/2021 19:48

Ha! That’s right up there with “chef’s special sauce” Grin
