  • Bored. So, link dump.

    , , , , ,

    I’ve been up for just over an hour, give or take. So far as I know I have absolutely nothing whatsoever planned for today, though considering this is me we’re talking about, that could change in like 5 minutes. So, content is nill. Pointless links incoming. ***************** Only in America … Read the rest

  • Good, I don’t have to shoot anyone.

    Jessica’s bus ended up finally getting going again at a bit after 7 or so, so she was able to make a later connection. Unfortunately, it means I’m now at my place waiting for her bus to be in town so I can meet her, but at least she’s still … Read the rest

  • Reason why I am win, number 9542691.

    We packed up and headed in to Ottawa on Monday as planned, for the interview. It lasted a whole… 20, maybe 25 minutes. They basicly had me tell them exactly what I did for my time with Dell, how much I made, and how much I’d be willing to work … Read the rest

  • I should so unsubscribe from techsupport.

    ,

    But I really don’t want to. Two reasons. This, and this, referenced in the previous link. Who’d of thunk, Microsloth actually has a sense of humor.

  • I don’t do anything in Pembroke. Honest.

    That spending the afternoon yesterday going out for coffee with my aunt and one of my cousins didn’t happen. Neither did the going to their place for supper after. Because, y’know, I just don’t dare do such things. My poor hockey team also didn’t just roll over and play dead … Read the rest

  • Ha.

    ,

    This is just absolute classic. And the reason I hang out in techsupport. Warning: extremely geekish technical terminology involved. If you read and do not understand, you have been sufficiently warned. Michelle (Sheyrena), you’d probably get more appreciation out of it than most. If only because you’re … Read the rest

  • Now that took balls.

    How many IT people have threatened to do this? Lord knows I would have if they gave me that kind of access. Every IT person’s ideal revenge is right there. Just goes to show you, your tech support person can be your best friend, or your worst nightmare. Do *not* … Read the rest

  • The thing about tech support: you’re never *really* done.

    , , , ,

    A sign of just how eventful my week’s been; this is pretty much the only thing of any real significance, since I’m still waiting on things like, you know, job applications to come to fruition (I’ll post more on that tomorrow, or later on tonight). I did my usual thing … Read the rest

  • Wo. Almost 1:30 already?

    I gotta give Microsoft credit. Nothing quite like reinstalling windows for 3 separate customers to make 3/4 the day go by like nobody’s business. Say, can somebody with a Dell call in to have Vista’s SP1 installed, then bitch up a fuss until they get referred specificly to me? I … Read the rest

  • I have come to a very disturbing realization.

    , , ,

    A computer manufacturing company who expects me to do tech support for them is apparently unable to stick a computer in front of me that’s capable of opening a whole lot more than the number of windows necessary to complete the tasks asociated with this job, who’s days are both … Read the rest
