I could not love Danielle more, here at 8:45.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Lamely, it's such a relief not to have to figure out the characters like you usually do in the first episode!

Dell technical support convo:
6:20:44 PM How may I help you today?
6:21:27 PM The laptop that was just ordered seems to be DOA. I've had it on the charger for ~24 hours, and it won't power up.
6:22:21 PM Ita, If I am correct the issue is with the laptop(notebook). Is that correct?
6:22:48 PM Well, it won't turn on, so that's what I'm assuming.
6:24:24 PM Ita, you have been connected to a printer tecnician, please let me know if I connect you to the laptop technician.
Looking good! Except for the part where I have to leave in three minutes. And then start this whole thing all over again. I don't give a fuck where the tech support is located. Just make sense in English. It might not be official, but it sure is predominant among your customers, I'd bet.

That wasn't a human on the other end, right?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I had a conversation like that once with...umm....some sort of tech support. I don't remember who.
When they responded with "If I am correct the issue is with..." part, I was pissed because I had detailed all the problems already. My response? "Am I talking to a human? Because if so, you're an idiot and can't read." There was a 30 second pause and then I got a real human saying, "Oh, yes! I'm real. I'm sorry I didn't read your initial comment more clearly."
Yeah, right. I was talking to a computer and then got switched to a real tech support person.

As a tech support person on the other end of the line, I get docked points for not restating the issue. Oh, and I have to use the person's name at least three times, no matter how awkwardly placed it is. Tain't so easy being the geek in the headset, either.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am going to be addicted to BB this summer. I can tell.

I don't mind restating on the phone, depending on the tone of voice. But retyping what I can still see on my chat screen? Come on. As procedure it sucks, because it makes me think that a) computer or b) buying time.
