Yes. And possibly.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Sighhhhh....
Let me go send an email to as much of the free world as I have in my email.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Maybe some dogs like being dressed up in costumes, but for cats it's just wrong.
The cat in this Darth Kitty Pet Costume looks pretty pissed....

I didn't get anything (yet) Trudes, so it may not have hit your whole list.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I got it, Trudy, but I can't see where the link leads since the school where I'm online blocks Facebook.

Why do people come into technical support, tell me their problem, then ask "Can you help?" Am I supposed to say, "No, I can't help, contact someone else, my job is not to fix your system despite what they pay me for"?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Same reason people ask if I can help them at the library.

Our wings are not tired.
Why do people come into technical support, tell me their problem, then ask "Can you help?"
Because they truly want to know if you can help them? I'm sure not everything people have trouble with falls under your area of expertise?

Well, it's not like they're asking me how to cook a turkey. They're asking how to install the update to the program whose technical support line they just logged into. It just strikes me as obsequious and "Please abuse me, I'm probably not worthy of asking for help," which does not trigger my empathy when the backlog for support is making management bring in lunch so we can stay at our desks and eat between talking to people. It ties into "You've known for three months that you needed this upgrade! And they've given you an extension! Why did you wait till the last minute!"
But then, I had my digital conversion box for my TV for over a year now.
