Only explanation I can think of for the reason every call, except maybe 1 or 2, has been a badly messed up system in desperate need of a serious cleaning. If I really wanted to play dirty, I could probably break the single-person record for amount of times reinstalling Windows in a typical day at the office. Ah well, on the bright side, by the time I get off lunch I’ll only have maybe 2 hours left. I can drag a call or few out long enough to cover it I’m sure…

Is today the national day of malware or something?

Peoples should update their blogs.

Now there’s a random search woops.
I think Google may have had a momentary laps. A Dell technician in India has, apparently, stumbled across this entry while looking for a solution to one of I’m sure a meriad of Sympatico related problems. Particularly surrounding Windows Mail. Now, uh, don’t get me wrong–I like the attention, but that’s got nothing to do with that particular entry. Oops. Ah well, hopefully it’s the same idiot I was talking to shortly before writing that entry. Now there’s open feedback for ya.

My computer sucks…
It’s a sad, sad day when you work for a computer company, doing tech support, and your computer goes on the blink. Mine’s already developed this nasty habbit of restarting for no real apparent reason. And now while making someone pay me to fix their brokenness, my computer started to again display its brokenness by half freezing up on me all over the place. There was much of the suckitude. I wonder if they’ll let me bring in the beast from home. At least I know that one works.

I can haz no webmessengerz?
So apparently they’ve gotten smart and blocked all the good web to IM services out there. I didn’t want a way to kill a lunch hour anyway. Anyone have an alternative to things like meebo, MSN’s web messenger, ebudy and… um, all those? Will pay in… um, praise. ‘Cuz that’s all I gots.

What’s normal about you… and what’s not?
You Are Fairly Normal
You scored 40% normal on this quizLike most people you are normal in some ways…
But you aren’t a completely normal person. You’re a little weird too!Why You Are Normal:
You think fishnet stockings are trashy
You would rather be pale than tan
You know a lot about a few subjects
You prefer ruffled potato chips
You would rather be an astronaut than a movie star
Why You Aren’t Normal:
You don’t keep up with your horoscope
You’d rather have cockroaches than rats in your home
When you’re in a car, you prefer to be the passenger
You don’t think glasses make anyone more attractive
You are no longer with your first love
I have no idea what’s normal anyway. But I don’t think you can put much faith in a quiz who’s questions only ever have 2 answers. It’s a 50/50 thing. I don’t do well with 50/50. I don’t do well with normal either. I blame anyone who isn’t me.

If you’re stuck on hold, I’m sorry.
Very rarely will I make 2 work related posts in one day. Not because I don’t like my job, but because I’m too lazy. But today–oh, today… there are 23 people currently waiting on hold. One of them, the one I’ll probably get to talk to when my break ends, has been waiting for almost 20 minutes already. And it’s not even noon yet…

Baby, it’s cold outside.
Another Friday morning which feels more like a Tuesday morning. And another freakishly cold morning. Thank you wind chill for making -12 roughly translate to -19. And now you can go right to hell. And now they’re threatening me with snow. I thought I evicted you yesterday? I’ll say again, winter sucks.

I despise Microsoft Office 2007.
Well, actually, I despise Microsoft. But Office 2007 for specific reasons. Primarily, it should not take me, who knows his way pretty much around Office products for the most part like the back of my hand, an hour and a half to figure out where the hell they put this or that setting that in the end it takes me 30 seconds or less to change. Nor should it stick document templates in easily corruptable files that it takes a small army to locate. And also takes 30 seconds to fix (read: delete). Microsoft, you suck. That is all.

Consider thyself evicted.
Thanks largely to the glory that is the ability to check on the weather network, it has been established that, by this time next week, we could very well be seeing a definite increase in the outside temperature. And all I can say is it’s about bloody well time. Winter, I love ya, but only until December 26th. After that, now you’re just overstaying your welcome. By a long shot. Bring on the 30 degree temperatures and the excuses to book off a week’s vacation. Yeehaw! I’m too enthusiastic about this. I blame the fact that I’m at work, and this is my monday, and I’m not looking forward to actually starting in half an hour–it’s gonna be busy as hell…
