Please tell me the helpdesk lines are recorded? Play that for their boss.
I doubt it. VoIP is done through another contractor and what they have here is ancient.

So today is the first day that the City decided to tighten up their content filtering. No YouTube, streaming media service (video/music), etc. When I tell you not only the sheer volume of complaints I've received today and the TYPES of complaints it's absolutely ludicrous.
User 1: "I'm gonna take a deep breath INTENSE DEEP BREATHING"
User 2: "I can't access YouTube or Facebook"
Me: Okay just put in a formal request and CC your supervisor. If he agrees that you need access to it we will provide it.
User 2: "This is ridiculous. What am I supposed to do all day?"
Me: .....?What the actual fuck?
You were under the impression that government employees do actual work?
No, I wasn't. I didn't think people had the audacity to EXPECT that to be a part of their normal work day to a point where they would actually call us to request it. That's insanity.
Exactly what I would expect.
When we cut it off here, people complained to each other, but not to me or management. Then they all went out and bought smart phones - no I'm not kidding - they went out and bought smart phones so they could get on FB all day from their phone.
It was so bizarre!!

You're going to wake up tomorrow and wonder if this was all a dream... and then your phone will ring, and you will realize that nope, you are still stuck in the nightmare.
