« on: May 11, 2007, 07:06:01 PM »
i've come in search of boredom relief at work... perhaps i can entertain the masses with stories of idiotic tech support callers...

i work call center tech support. pity is appreciated, but unnecessary.

i'm studying engineering at the same damn community college since '03... but i just figured out the whole engineering direction.

i have "unconventional" views on most things, but from my trollings, apparently the masses share many of said views.

flame me. i dare you.... yes, i'm that bored.

i have "unconventional" views on most things, but from my trollings, apparently the masses share many of said views.

So by putting quotes around the word UNCONVENTIONAL, you are signifying that your views on most things are actually not unconventional, but, in fact, conventional.

Either that, or you have the dreaded quote disease.

Villkommen, I feel your pain

Just tell me you don't constantly utter the phrases "Have you tried turning it off and back on again?" or "No, we can't do that, there's a virus." at work and you're cool with me.

meh... i don't let the idiots win. most of them are intelligent enough to realize their ignorance and follow directions.

the people that really get to me are those that hold an IT position for a medium-sized company, yet ask me how to set a static ip address.... i've considered calling their HR manager to steal their jobs many a time.
