    Sadly I'm not even on the HelpDesk at all. Non-technical people have a tendency to ask anyone who works in IT to fix anything from a broken mouse to the warped CD that spent the summer on the floor of their car. I think even the guy who waters the plants on our floor gets asked to fix computer problems when he goes to other depts.

    Nope... Well, not completely anyway. I don't work on the Backend System. I just do the development on our Siebel environment.

    "the" was already posted before in this thread.

    "Think outside the box". That might have been posted too and it's a phrase not a word but people are posting phrases.
