[Bobby_M]

My job doesn't really fit into any of the drop down lists on the surveys. My employer is a large telecom consulting and software company. I consult with phone companies about their network management information infrastructure and make suggested changes. I have to help relative laymen understand complex telephony. Mostly I sit in front of this computer and answer my phone when it rings. Glorified tech support.

I am a "PC Administrator" which is fancy talk for Desktop Support. Really though it is a little more than typical desktop because I do both tier I and tier II support, and I even dabble on the servers a bit. Our IT group is small so we don't escalate; if a PC is not working, I make it work.

Do you put people on hold for yourself?
You: Hmm, that is a troubling problem, let me transfer you up to tier II support.
Them: thanks
(Hold music while you read HBT).... 5 minutes later
You: This is tier II tech support, what seems to be the problem.
Them: wait, what?

Hahaha, not that would be hilarious though.

No, we are just a small dept. I am really the only one who does support. If something is really FUBAR'd and I can't figure it out, I can fall back on the network admin, but really if a user needs help, I find a way to get them fixed. We don't really even have "tiers" here.
