I have a little application I build that monitors tickets submitted. It basically just sits there in the corner and notifies when new tickets arrive. I need to get the persons username who is logged into the computer to pull their tickets.

I tried searching, but I think I'm using the wrong terminology as I couldn't really find anything.

You're looking for the Environment.UserName property.

You may also be looking for the Environment.UserDomainName property.
