i think my brain just dribbled out my ear

[Glompbot]

So..... its been an hour and ten minutes and 57 seconds.... and this customer is pretty much talking to herself.


I am bored. my head hurts.
fucking entertain me bitches.

[DOGG]

women love to talk?

ohh what a surprise

[Arcainus]

God..I hear you man. I just got off a 1h20min call, after which I had to fill out a 90 line form out to MSN because hotmail is a piece of shit but our email servers are housed on it. God, how I loathe hotmail.

[Glompbot]

The call has now reached one hour, 31 minutes, and 36 seconds.


we're trying to find a software restore disk.

[Davo_Dinkum]

I am at home with a temperature of 39.4

not feeling too well.

[Cassa]

I don't wanna go to work today

Is this on topic?

[Glompbot]

I don't wanna go to/be at work today either.

I'd say i wanna be home and sleeping, but someone else is currently occupying my bed.
and i don't have my keys :/

[Arcainus]

Damn those plundering Carnies, taking our zBeds!

[BlueBoy]

My longest tech call went for just over 3 hours.
Manually removing McAfee Office 2000. :/

[JumpinJez]

Mcafee Office 2000? no wonder that took a long time to uninstall......

[Glompbot]

I passed the call off to tier 2.

i officially hate apple works.
the customer was quite nice, but she would ask 3 times to confirm and instruction i gave her

even after my "I wouldn't say it if I didn't want you to do it" line.

[Arcainus]

I would have pulled the ol' deltree C: manouver on her (i'm too drunk and tired to spell). 90% of my calls are what we call ID-10-T errors here, so i tend to do that alot.

The trick is convincing the person that it wasnt their fault their harddrive got deleted, and that you didnt mean for them to type the 'del' at the beginning.

yeah because deltree c: is gonna kick ass on an apple.

[Arcainus]

roight, I should really learn to read instead of drinking. It'd probably help me on my next annual evaluation.

Explains why it took so long. apple is great if you know what your doing. However, for everytime a damned moron picks an apple for their first computer, i'll kill a kitten.

[Glompbot]

You'd be surprised, most callers are fine.

But yeah, the call was just *dragging* it wasn't the fault of the customer....
but she had an older e-mac (800mhz) which would take ages to restart.

[Arcainus]

hey, i'm using one of those as a tv stand! Sweet!

it's all pretty straightforward to put things into, i just deal with alot of stuff that isnt compatible with apple, and my callers are too stupid to understand what the word compatible means.

[~vjay~]

I always thought old Macs were only good for converting into aquariums (http://www.theapplecollection.com/Collection/MacAquarium/index.shtml)

1a: Especially for you
I wanna let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart I thought of you

You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same

1b: :fag: Especially for you
I wanna tell you I was feeling that way too
And if dreams were wings, you know
I would have flown to you
To be where you are
No matter how far
:banghead: And now that I'm next to you

1c: :fag: No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I've got to say
:banghead: It's all because of you

CHORUS: :banghead: And now we're back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is +Especially for you

2: Especially for you
I wanna tell you, you mean all the world to me
:fag: How I'm certain that our love was meant to be
You changed my life
You showed me the way
:banghead: And now that I'm next to you

:fag: I've waited long enough to find you
I wanna put all the hurt behind you Oh,
And I wanna bring out all the love inside you, Oh

CHORUS

You were in my heart
My love never changed

1c: CHORUS: (repeat & fade)

[Glompbot]

OK, a little bit out there.



I just had another call - dvd burning issues (so of course, we had to find stuff to burn to a dvd, attempt to burn, get error message, repeat in new user, etc)

one hour and fifteen minutes


oi, i'm getting the long ones today.

[PsychoNavigator]

I had a transvestite/transsexual come into my store today. I work at Home Depot. He/She/Him/Her/Shim was wearing a powersuit, black with faint white pin stripes, and was with it's back to me kind of looking up and around lik,e it was looking for something. It turned around and in a semi-deep voice said " I need something to put poles in."

BAHHHHHAHHAHAAHAAA.

Oh shit. It's a dude! Adams apple throbbing, manly hands, and a five oclock shadow to boot.

WTF.

Being the consummate professional I am, I whipped out my johnson for her to... ahhh no.

It needed to build a stand to hold brooms, mops and other stiff, ah I mean stuff. SHIT!

That was fucking weird. Seeing a tranny in a hardware store in the city I live in was the veritable equivalent of seeing Kunta Kinte at a Merle Haggard concert.

[BtrFly]

i have had a 15 minute conversation with a scottish bloke, that should have taken 5 minutes... it was while my lunch was getting cold. not happy jan

[Arcainus]

My last call of the night was with someone who only had 2 of their fingers working and in a foot cast, and I had to have them unplugg all 6 of his phones which were scattered throughout his 3 story house. Needless to say, I giggled a bit picturing him, but it took nearly half an hour just to unplug them.

Scottish people are lovely to talk to. I've got some clients in Scotland, i speak to them on a daily basis. I love the accent

[Glompbot]

[Glompbot]

Fifteeeeen Minutes!

[Aurelius]

Ah, all this takes me back to my Bigpond tech support days.... the best two years of my life.....

[Glompbot]

I worked for ozemail for 2 years and one month :D
