Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You could try, but she'll practice on you first.
I'm willing to take a couple lumps in order to raise the fighting force for the next revolution.
Well, maybe the next revolution is a little too early. Two or three revolutions from now, though, I'll be totally set.

Royal. Mmmmmmmmmm.
Now I want cake. Thanks. Thanks a lot.
Mmmmmmm. Cake.
Want I should have Em headbutt you and make you forget about cake?
Argh. User called, said she couldn't send e-mail. I tried asking her if Outlook said "Offline" in the lower right hand corner. She asks "All I see is the clock." No, above that. In the Outlook window. "It says 'Office'." What? "The only thing I can see says 'Office'." So I talk her through letting my remote into her PC. Sure enough, Outlook has a big red X in the lower right hand corner and says "Offline". I move the cursor over it and tell her 'This is what I was talking about.' "Right" she replies. "It says 'Office'."
Apparently basic literacy is not a required job skill in health care.
Though slightly less frustrating from the user with an attitude that called yesterday in a very exasperated tone of voice to tell me that her computer wasn't working and she couldn't log into it. After talking to her for a minute I determined that one of her applications was simply running slow. How this equates to "I can't login to my computer", I have no friggin' clue.
Just, argh.
ETA: Feel free to have Em headbutt both of them (the users, that is) if you'd like, Aimee.
Leif is into headbutting too. His head is like a little bowling ball, so it's pretty effective.
Oh good. It's not just my violent kid.
Way back when, when I did computer support I had a call about a printer that wouldn't work. I got down to the printer and discovered that it wouldn't power up. I traced the plug back to a power strip. I traced the power strip to an extension cord. I traced the extension cord back to the same power strip.
