Woot, apparently I am useless because I can't fix this lady's DVD drive.

I'm an internet technician you stupid fuck.

1. Life in Halifax sounds rough for you today

:P

[ghostsofgiants]

2. Ugh, don't get me started.

I typed up a new resume before I came in to work today. Time to start looking for new jobs, methinks.

[XemaSab]

3. Always a good plan

:thumbsup:

4. Good idea - Tech support is just soul-crushing.

I only had to do it occasionally, since I worked for a small software company that had a light enough TS load not to warrant a full-time position for it, and it still made me not want to go into work some days.

[ghostsofgiants]

8. Soul crushing is an understatement.

[HEyHEY]

9. I thought you were in St John's

[ghostsofgiants]

10. I am, she likes to say Halifax to bug me.

[XemaSab]

25. No!

:o

[RandomThoughts]

5. Hey, good to meet one, got one for you.

I just tried to remove one of the 30 or so trojans on my computer, didn't expect it to work.

LOL

So jump right in and fix it up.

:)

6. I have a question. Since you are a techy type

Why would viruses go to the trouble of sniffing or keylogging, or even mirroing monitor, and not make the adjustment on packet count?

It seems that would be a simple thing to do.

[ghostsofgiants]

7. I honestly have no idea.

I don't know a lot about viruses, haven't dealt with many. Could be for tracking personal information or things like invasive targeted adware? Just a wild guess.

[RandomThoughts]

22. hehe.

The guys at _______ that constently are in my computer from ________ just switched my settings and erased the styles for buttons. So I have old style buttons and funky colors. LOL

Looks like I could be posting from librarys soon. Of coarse I really don't need to use the internet to post. Its just more traditional.

Have fun, so will I. Keeps things interesting

:)

11. I had faith in humanity....

Until I found out there were people out there that were using their CD/DVD-ROM disc drawer as a cup holder. :nopity:

[Debi]

12. You mean ... it's NOT?

:wow:

[geomon666]

24. No, it's not.

And when your disc drive finally breaks, please do not call customer service, asking them to fix your cup holder.

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. I had the power to my house disconnected so that my computer wouldn't get a "surge"

and now it won't turn on.

Did it get "surged", whatever that is? Should I take it out of the packing box and look at it, or will that void the warranty? Or should I just take it back to the store and let them deal with it?

I've had the GEEK Squad over a dozen or so times, but all they ever do is sneer and laugh at me, and tell me to check my "fuses" and not to get my union suit in a knot, which is funny, because I've not worn a union suit in almost 5 years so I don't know what they mean, and I'm getting tired of writing them checks.

And my water is cold now, too, all the time, and the TV just shows some black thing that I assume must be one of those fancy BBC shows that I never understand. Could a "surged" hard drive cause the water problems?

By the way, this is all your fault, you stupid fucking ass, and I hate you, and why didn't you call me about this before? Why do you assholes have to wait until your customers have been so fucked over that they finally call you? Why can't you lazy fucks call us for once, and be a little proactive for a change?

You make me sick, and I'm calling your supervisor, as soon as I finish this thirtieth beer and hit my wife.

[ghostsofgiants]

14. Have you unplugged the power to the water and plugged it back in?

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. I need to have power to the water? Was that in the manual with the computer?

[FloridaJudy]

23. What's up with that?

Nine times out of ten when I try that it works.

[nuxvomica]

20. My sides are aching

:rofl: :spray:

[DS1]

15. I had some email me demanding a fix because her tripod.com image links

where no longer working :crazy:

[Jamastiene]

17. Shit, tell her you are a technician, not a magician.

Those things aren't made to be repaired nowadays. They are made to be thrown away so you can buy newer and better. That's a fact.

[Forkboy]

18. That's stupid. There has to be a better way to explain your uselessness.

:yoiks:

:evilgrin:

[ghostsofgiants]

19. I'm useless in many, many ways.

But not for the reasons she thinks. :P

[Midlodemocrat]

21. That's right you doofus. And DO NOT call me back until you get it right.

Harumph.
