When giving a presentation from a laptop and you get a pop up warning that the battery is low, it means PLUG THE POWER SUPPLY IN!!! Unlike the Starship Enterprise, the laptop does not have a near limitless source of power based off of Dilithium Crystals.
When sending a job to a printer, sometimes it fails or takes a bit longer. The CORRECT way to fix this is to either wait or contact your Network Administrator. The INCORRECT way to fix this is to KEEP HITTING PRINT!! Nothing beats checking the print queue and seeing the same print job ten times.
The above statement can be said for MS Outlook as well. If you hit the icon and it does not start immediately, do not hit the icon again. Once again, wait a few moments (as there could be a network issue or you may have a large email store) or contact your Network Administrator. It’s always fun to check the Task Manager and see 10 ‘Outlook.EXE’ processes running.
Just some helpful suggestions from your Friendly Neighborhood Network Administrator!
