trouble shooting

Trying to find the source of a problem. Often associated with computer. Usually a pain in the arse.

I found this Microsoft trouble shooting manual, and now I think it would be more appropriate that I shoot myself.

trouble shooting

An excuse to space out for a couple of hours when you work in a office cubicle managed by a clueless boss.

Boss: "Johnson, have you sent out those STP reports?"
Johnson: "Uh.... no there was a problem with my computer, it was (insert computer jargon), I've been trouble shooting."

trouble shooting

A text that has various common problems (usually having to do with the computer) on it, and what you can do to fix them.

"Oh man," sighed David, "My computer is flickering again. What can I do to stop it?"

"Why don't you look in trouble shooting?" suggested his coworker.

A help file when you are having trouble.

My printers not working! I need to check the trouble shooting.

troubleshooing

This is related to those working in Support Call Centers that have to deal with cases dealing with stupid customers that require a lot of time consuming hand holding with their issues that you just do not have time for currently due to other more pressing issues.

'Troubleshooing" is the art of asking vague questions, making stock responses like "Let me take a look at your issue and get back to you if I have any questions" or just any general semi-related BS about a question or issue a customer is experiencing in a Support case to "shoo" them away so you can get to other cases in your queue.

"Yeah did some quick ninja like troubleshooing just so I could get that idiots case out of the way so I could get to more important stuff."
