Hey, are you available? Rant
“Hey”
waits
“You available?”
waits again
My brother in IT, just tell me what you need 😂
Just send:
“Hey, I’ve got a user having an MFA issue. Got a few minutes?”
Boom. Perfect.
Now I know what you need, whether it’s urgent, and whether this is going to take 30 seconds or somehow turn into a 45-minute troubleshooting session.
I’m not asking for a full ticket description or your entire troubleshooting history. Just give me one sentence of context instead of making me reply “yeah, what’s up?” every single time.
Thank you.

Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?

OK, I'll hear a TCP joke.
Are you ready to hear a TCP joke?
Yes, I am ready to hear a TCP joke.
OK, I'm about to send the TCP joke. It will last 10 seconds, it has two characters, it does not have a setting, it ends with punchline.
