Jokes on you I give free tech support to all of my acquaintances because I'm an Engineer.

SomeNone7135yIT Support != Help Desk
Yes I'm in IT Support (I'm a storage support engineer). No I cannot fix Outlook not opening for you. -

In my company I am everything IT-related
Helpdesk
Web developer
SW Developer
All kinds of hardware
System integrator
Electrical engineer etc.
If it has a computer or can be related to IT, then apparently it is my job. -
I understand that some people do help desk as well...but for our company we have a dedicated help desk on the floor below me for these exact issues they come to me for.
