Many people walk by or into the Help Desk every day. It can be a really busy place sometimes. Someone always needs to go to the Help Desk to get their internet fixed or to get a new motherboard or to just fix the screen because it’s loose, and it’s bothering you. But how many people actually know the technicians?
