Idiot of the week (month/year)

Goes to an it manager for this gem

New bit of software is being rolled out over the London sites this company has. Users need training so several PC's have been put aside so they can be used as training machines. PC's need to be set up in 5 sites in London and training starts on Thursday. The IT manager has known about this for a couple weeks now. Guys from head office arrive today to make a start on testing the training setup only to find no PC's have been set up and the IT manager who was looking after things this end is on holiday, the only other people on desktop support know nothing about this. Not a problem though as they know what PC's are going to be used and there is more than enough base units and keyboard/mice, only problem 8 spare monitors and 26 pc's needed. Guys from head office email IT manager asking whats the status with the monitors, his response...

"Nobody told me the PC's would need monitors as well"

All nameless and very vague as I would still like a job at the end of the week

Sounds like something my boss would do :/

Either that or he'd give them 14in CRTs which give you a headache just looking at the casing :O

Well turns out I was wrong as the award now goes to a company that has just spent a 7 figure number rebranding to a new name. All headed paper has turned up, all business cards turned up and the official change over is monday. They just asked the IT manager there to register the domain name you can tell whats coming next, made even worse that there new name consists of 3 letters, well 3 characters consisting of one letter and one number (letternumberletter). Shockingly the .com and .co.uk domain names arent available

It wouldn't be the letter F, followed by the number 4, then the letter G - would it?
