BOFH: When desk lamps attack:
U: 'Yeah, I was just ringing because I can't install an application on my machine.'
O: 'Really?' I ask. 'What application?'
U: 'Oh that's not important, but what is important is that I don't seem to have Administrator access to my machine.'
O: 'Yes, that's right, no-one does. Well, that's not completely true, myself and my assistant do, and the support staff have 'Power User' access.'
U: 'But it's my machine!'
O: 'No, it's the Company's machine - you're just using it.'
U: 'The company bought the machine for me!'
O: 'For you to USE, yes. Like your desk.'
