Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
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.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
God help me, may I never perform tech support again.
That having been said, the L1 support guy I last spoke to who condescended to me and told me that refronting my new to me laptop was too effort intensive, and that it was better for the various tech groups to redo each little bit in a lovely roundrobin of me never getting the thing back. Two minutes after the actual people-doing-the-work showed up, they said "Oh, we'll just refront and start from scratch. Much easier."
Hmmph.
Hey, does anyone know--when a cellphone incoming call messes with the stereo, is it messing with the signal at the wires or at the speaker?
