Some days, it's so hard...

[TheProject]

to not be a condescending asshole to the people that call me.

One of the guys in the field let his password expire. Nevermind that they get notified EVERY DAY FOR 2 FUCKING WEEKS that they need to change their password. That's not important.

So his password expires, and what does he do, instead of calling the help line? He calls my VP, and says he can't get in. Which means my VP calls me, and says help him.

I called him up, and slowly explained to him, step by step, in agonizing detail, how to change his password, doing it in just such a way that he can't really say I'm belittling him, but he's not sure.

Some days, I can handle support, some days I can't.

some days I don't feel like taking a dump.

is that the same?

and Project (adding "The" is so formal), you were talking smack to me yesterday about me being in a poopy mood.

smile twinkletoes, it is almost the weekend.

Whos sings that "Everybody's Working for the Weekend" song?

Def Leppard should totally cover it.

Embrace your inner asshole, babe....it will set your free

 

[TheProject]

Scrappy, thank God it is almost the weekend, because if it weren't, I might snap and kill someone. I'm getting sick, and on top of that, it seems to be idiot day at the funny farm.

Temple...I can't really say that I'm in touch with my inner asshole, because, well, that sounds like something Scrappy would say. Suffice to say I have my moments.

And if all else fails....I have a Louisville Slugger in my office. No lie.

I thought this was going to be a thread about porn.

 

[HappyScrappy]

I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee. or maybe it is my 4th. I don't know.

I do know that I'm getting a lot done.

[supersizeme]

in about five minutes here i'm gonna roll into the office bathroom and jerk myself off until i go blind and then scream for help until someone comes and leads me back to my cube. that's how those of us who don't drink coffee get by.

 

[HappyScrappy]

I don't normally drink coffee. I save it for days when I forget to eat breakfast. Those days are usually fridays if I don't make it to the gym... like today. the coffee helps me not feel the intense burning pains of hunger and instead make me feel the intense burning pains of my throat and mouth getting scorched by searing hot java.
mmmm.

I feel kinda light headed and twitchy, but I figure another 2 or 3 cups and I will be at the point where I can start willing things to happen.

Oh yeah, today's a fun day.

Now the boss comes to me and says, "go help this person make a Table of Contents for Word." He hit me up with this last week, I called the person in question, politely explained that I was unfamiliar with this operation, and pointed her to the relevant Wizard, and told her to call me if she got stuck.

So, what happens? She gets stuck, and instead of calling me, she calls my boss AGAIN. I tell people I hate this bitch, and they can't understand why.

Come to find out, they don't even HAVE the document they want the ToC for!

fucking people...
