...but why do our users think we are there to literally clean up? Got this email to the service desk yesterday :-

I change the backup tapes in the basement here at <site edited> daily – however, as we have a tramp living under the building and I am sorry to say leaves his calling card (so to speak) the smell is so disgusting I really don’t feel I can do this if the area isn’t cleaned – I wonder if you could contact the powers that be as we have tried from this end with no joy. Alternatively maybe one of the IT team could take on the task until the problem is resolved.

Yea, sounds like they are running a Windows Server down there.

Nothing worse than when a tramp is backed up.....and then he isn't.

Yeah Shaggy. IT types seem to get this kind of attitude from users to any 'problem' that occurs near / has some link to anything computer related. Once had some tramps living in the air conditioning plant room - removing all that warm air from the computer room sure kept the place cozy - so the lack of locks on the door had nothing to do with facilities folks did it?
