2. our firms IT guy.

never really fixes anything, just band-aids things.

seems we always have to call him every 2 weeks

spends half his time on the clock actually just socializing with certain staff members which costs us money to him hourly and that employees time as well.

1. Amen. Starbucks is terrible for this. From what I can tell, where the lid and the fold of the cup meet leaks like a sieve. I find using a blocker actually makes this worse.

2. Does he have enough money? I know a lot of IT guys get blamed for doing half-assed fixes, but often that's due to the budget you get. I don't know any IT folks that want to deal with old hardware, legacy software, etc etc.
