IT Stands for Information Technology

...not to be mistaken for BIOtechnology. But because our nearest IT guy is 45 minutes away and incredibly SWAMPED with questions, I am sadly, the next best thing. People think that because I can separate DNA, I can fix their computer. Strange...I know.
They even have a motto: Yen can do it!

Yeech.... >.< The scary thing is that usually, I can do it! -Which surprises ME!

At least my job has the “tech” in it somewhere.…just don’t ask me to program the remote!

Wanna know my secret? I follow the three steps below. It solves 75% of the IT issues that I get!

1. Turn on the computer.
a. Check that the power is turned on the power strip.
b. Check to make sure all cords are present and they are connected to the correct piece of equipment you are using
c. Find the "on" switch. Usually looks like this:
or this
...sometimes, both switches need to be on in order to get power!

2. Restart the computer.
a. Go to the green “start” and hit “shut down” then shut it down.
b. Hold the little “on” button for a while until the computer shuts off.

3. Log onto the computer
a. Check that your password is typed in correctly, including all capitals, lower cases and numbers. If this doesn’t work than:

• Make sure the caps lock is off
• I’s (eyes), 1’s (ones) and l’s (elles) all look alike when they are written on a piece of toilet paper. Try retyping the passy with these different combinations.

I feel your pain, my brother. I feel your pain!!!
