Computer Idiots
Sep. 1st, 2004 06:52 pmI don't mean spammers, trolls, or AOL'ers. I mean real ignorant people interacting with computers. Take unnamed relation, who runs a gift shop in town. Computers are down all day, including cash registers. So she calls tech support. Thumbs up right off; bonus points for not attempting to fix it herself. Her tech guy, who is a "friend who does computers" not a "computer tech I've come to trust" can't figure it out. After trying until 5pm, they give up and call William. Who already worked a full day of construction and hard labour. Who has to get my ass out of work early so he can drive to the shop so I won't have to walk home. William is still out there fixing her system. God knows what's wrong. Someone's fat ass probably dropped a cheese danish on the hub and took down the system. I did the initial layout on their website, hate to see where's it's gone to now after a year and a half of someone else (even though she's semi-intelligent) running it. Grr. So supper has been pushed back a while. I am hungry, dammit. Billy, come home.
Now I've gone too far out in the Waters...
I should balance the checkbook and write out the rent check tonight. Get paid Monday. Yeah. Sounds like a plan. After I have a few beers and some red meat. "Look, mommy, it's supper!" "But honey, that's a cow in that pasture." "Mooooo..."
