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.
I never knew that you are supposed to pull your eyelid by your lashes. Mine would fall out if I did that.
Who said that? Every optometrist I've ever been to when getting contacts has demonstrated raising the lid by pulling from just behind the lashes, never pulling *on* them.
My lashes are in bad enough shape. I don't want to pull them out!
Amy, from here: WindSparrow "Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This" Sep 2, 2013 4:53:15 pm PDT Totally not how I'd ever do it because I'd be eyelash-less.
Do you think I can take support calls that don't go past 3? 3 is when I'm supposed to stop. I didn't really take lunch, more a break to dis-assemble my TiVo external drive (thanks, support, for telling me not to spend $150 on data recovery you probably can't do--you helped me let go of my stored files and whatever), and I need to get to Weaknees (why are they named that? It's probably on the site...) to pick up the replacement before 4.
Finally got the email saying that I was NOT one of the finalists for the job, which I had figured with the silence, but at least they were good enough to send an email (I was actually starting to wonder if they hadn't gotten my submission at all!).
But, new boss started today, and we seem to be of one mind, so at least life won't be hellish at work. I just need a bigger paycheck.
Home now. Rosh Hashanah starts tomorrow night. At some point I will catch up on things.
Not today.
Took one call, it wasn't the right queue, bailed.
Off to get my hard drive. Fuck this past month for expenses. FUCK IT.
ita, I missed something -- why were you doing support?
We had an influx of new users and I have the honour to be IDed for support SWAT. I was miffed for thirty seconds that I wasn't level 2, but then I realised OMIGOD I AM NOT GOOD AT THIS. I mean, I can do it, but I am bending my nature, and I'm not good the way some people can sniff out a problem. Mostly I can keep people relaxed while I search through documents.
But...I hate escalating past me. I hate that 50% of the escalations were unlocking email passwords. I COULD DO THAT IF YOU TELL ME HOW. Installing loosely related third party apps? That's experience. I don't got none.
Ah, well. Hopefully only one more day.
Such fun. I expect you're being too tough on yourself, but I know you have high standards.
In other news, the gas has been turned back on. I feel the need to go Bake Everything just because I couldn't do so at all this afternoon....
People keep telling me I'm insanely patient. I don't think I am. If I was, I wouldn't have a steno pad covered in scrawls of "You are such a moron!" next to me.
I don't know, I just have a knack for being able to explain a process so that people can follow it. Plus the authority to just connect into people's systems and do it for them.
