Frou: Excuse me, IT Support. I need to upgrade my laptop. I had it for 4 years and it works at snail speed. The last time I brought it to India, the folks there laughed at me and ask why the Singapore office so cheapskate. What is our company policy on hardware upgrade and how do I put in a request for one?
IT Support: You need to submit a IT Request Form online. In the form, you need to state why you need an upgrade. Due to the current economic situation, we will not grant an upgrade unless your hard drive is spoilt to the extent that replacing it will be more cost effective than repairing it. In your IT Request Form, you need to show proof that you had previously requested for reparation work and we must had attempted to repair it at least twice before, hence you need to have record of at least 2 previous requests for repair and that the conclusion is the reparation work was not successful and the problem exists to the extent that it is disruptive of your work.
Frou: Errr.... Are you saying I cannot get an upgrade unless my laptop is spoiled and disruptive of my work?
IT Support: Yes. To the extent that replacing it will be more cost effective than repairing it.
Frou: How about the fact that it is soooo slow that it is disruptive of my work?
IT Support: There are many reasons for slow processing in a hardware. It could be due to running too many applications at the same time or bla bla bla... bla bla or ...bla bla bla... bla... you should check before requesting for an upgrade based on that reason.
Frou: So, in short, you won't upgrade lar?
IT Support: Unless your laptop is spoilt and is beyond repair.
Frou: .......
IT Support: ........
Frou: Can you recommend me an irreparable virus?
IT Support: CANNOT!
Frou: Grr....
