It seems the guys over at Microsft actually understand how us IT guys feel, maybe they aren’t that bad after all. They have started a competition which runs each week, called “Wheres the ‘any’ key?”. It’s supposed to be a competition where IT tech’s share they most favoured “fail” moments from the time they were doing support. The highest-rated anecdote every week wins its author a Sony Vaio X, £100 in gift certificates to the Microsoft store, and the anecdote is turned into the site’s weekly comic strip.
Here’s a short snippet from their humor manual site:
Overdoing Humor
- May disrupt group process with untimely or inappropriate humor
- May use humor to deflect real issues and problems
- May use humor to criticize others and veil an attack
- May use humor to deliver sarcasm or cynicism
- May be perceived as immature or lacking in appropriate seriousness
- His/her humor may be misinterpreted
If you want to enter, read the fine manual.
