He usually works with his door closed or is frequently off site, so contacting him is not always easy or direct. Direct interaction with him is almost unheard of, even when he’s in the next room. Aside: do not EVER call him the “IT guy.” You will be severely rebuked. Your IT person is rude and kind of a jerk.
