Haha classic. This girl that I went to highschool had it bad. We were sitting in class one day and the teacher's all like,"today we are going to study native americans"
she shouts out,"you are a native american!"
Every once in a while, a SHIT! or a FUCK! or some variance would slip out and you coud hear it in the classrooms next door.
those were the good old days. Now, the dude that sits next to me in history class that I take notes for pulls out his pit hair with his fingers and gives it a little taste before disgarding. Sometimes, he'll use it like floss. Our teacher is African American, and this kid calls the teacher by the name of different black celebrities that he looks nothing like. I better finish up with school, or he might wind up being my boss someday.

Everyone has their favorite tech support story. Mine happened when an old man called in with some problems that I narrowed down to a likely video card problem. The man was nice enough but really, really old. He was 86 years old and a little hard of hearing plus his voice was really hoarse. I knew this was probably going to take a while, but the old geezer had personality and I was determined to help him.
After I had determined his problem was his video card I realized I was going to have to talk him through cracking open the case and reseating his video card. One problem was he only had one arm (I'm not making this up). It had been amputated. Anyway, he was a trooper and followed my instructions and got his video back.
Well it turns out the call was being monitored by our employer and I got a glowing report for being patient with the guy..me and my team look great. A week later I totalled my car on the way to work and they moved us to customer service which I hated so I quit. When things are going well look out!!

Hah, get a bunch of tech support workers together with a few beers, and you've got a fountain of tales of hilarious stupidity.
It's like belonging to a special club.

that's pretty funny.
A guy at work start talking to me about his machine at home, and how it wasn't working properly. When I asked him what exactly it was doing, he was like, " It lost it's internet". The way he said it was pretty funny, he dropped it off yesterday, but i havent looked at it yet.

Lol! They just backed down from the 44-hours week idea!
I don't want to say I was instrumental in this, but I did get an email from the boss saying he was "going with the plan you outlined below" (I had suggested he make it VOLUNTARY...and he did).

There is an acronym that I use when I go to new Tech Shops when I work. It is P.E.B.C.A.K.! It means Problem Exist Between Chair And Keyboard!!! This helps describe in a simple manner those problem users who don't know what they are doing but call up tech support saying something is wrong with their computer. I ran into alot of PEBCAKs when I worked at various county agencies; especially the Library system. Talking about old librarians who don't know what they are doing by seek help, some of them can talk the balls off of a Rhinoceros!

Yeah updates would be good...
I'm thinking about getting fired from my job as well... I've had 8 last warnings about my working speed so far so getting fired doesn't seem very likely unless i decide to steal some shit which i probably won't do.

Well I'm still working here for the moment. The good thing is that my stress level has gone WAY down (as in, disappeared) since I gave up on actually trying to work

trendal, you should move forward with the idea of unionizing all the people that work for your company. hand out flyers with YOUR NAME on it with lots of anti-management messages and how with a collect voice, everyone could drive up pay and benefits, etc, etc, etc.
i would have soooo much fun with that .... i see a trendal hoffa in the making.
