What irritates you?

Ohhhh that does it. The coworker that called me this morning left to do sales calls. He is NOT my boss, but he likes to act the part. When he left, he told my other coworker to call me every half hour until I showed up.

:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: I came in early, I skipped breakfast, even made sure to stop and pickup some envelopes from a vendor so you could get your catalog project done. And you have the nerve to assume I'm just going to ignore your phone calls and come in when I feel like it.

Lets see how they like it when they have no tech support guy. The day is coming soon I fear.

WHOA!

why don't you call him every 15 minutes and ask him how long his sales calls will be and when will he be back in to work today? "hey, are YOU done yet? when ya gonna be back here?"

my day so far

Woke up to a nasty phone call about the phones not working and to basically wake up and get into work ASAP. The roads are a mess, and I'm supposed to stop and get envelopes at a vendor, because we're too cheap to have them shipped.

Get to the vendor, nobody there. They're hiding behind huge boxes in their warehouse. I see the box I need, was tempted to just grab it and run, but no, I need to follow procedure.

Finally get the envelopes, battle the roads some more to get in. Greeted with apathy and a bunch of lazy coworkers sitting around. The guy that rudely called was gone, leaving instructions to hound me until I got the network running.

Switch us over to out backup ISP, after figuring out comcast wasn't working. Got things up and running, and now to deal with all the morning issues that couldn't be without the net and phones. Call comcast, big surprise, it's a billing issue, again.

Get a call from the irate coworker telling me I have to show him how to fix the problem next time so he doesn't have to call me at home. The guy is admittedly technologically challenged, he once broke a laser printer by incorrectly replacing a toner cartridge. Yes, I'm sure he's qualified to fix a network problem.... :eyeroll: Basically told him I couldn't teach him how to fix it. Phones were then ringing off the hook, the temps went on break. What the hell is a break anyway? Only ones I take are bathroom emergencies.

Temps get back, toss me their timesheets, which needed to be faxed in hours ago. We don't have a hardline for a fax, and nobody else knows how to use a scanner so they can use the efax service, so of course that's my job too.

Now, I got a call from my backup ISP guy. He's a local in the building, nice guy, I usually enjoy talking tech with him. My irate coworker called him this morning to complain that the network was down, which wasn't even this ISP's problem, but the poor guy got the brunt of my coworkers anger over the situation anyway.

I honestly wish I were exagerating things... Just thought I'd share.. since my coworkers don't understand why I'm so cranky today.

Get a call from the irate coworker telling me I have to show him how to fix the problem next time so he doesn't have to call me at home.

tell him he is more than welcome to pay the bill!

Only ones I take are bathroom emergencies.
and don't even take one of those if you work for Mr Trump! :eyeroll:

nobody else knows how to use a scanner

I wouldn't do it anymore if they treated me like that! I'd announce that they could show for a 10 minute course one day on how to do it- being VERY CLEAR that if they dont show and they dont learn- they dont get a paycheck

Ut oh. My computer is telling me it has a virus. :chagrin:

So I ran a scan and there are 127 infected files! :eek: I isolated them and put them in time out (quarantine). Will this work until after the hunt at least and then I can have my son-in-law dig into it further?

I have no idea what I'm talking about. I just followed the prompts. :cool:

Mines been acting up for a year and a half now...

I find ways to fix it, by disabling a buncha crap, so they're not running, and it seems to work fine...

and when that doesnt work, I kick it. :goofy:

That's how I got my fan working again, but I just banged on it a lot. :sillygrin:

Sorry to hear that Joel.

You should be able to call them and basically say send a tech for free to replace this modem or we're leaving.

DO you have spyware on there too OT?

Adaware is free and good for cleaning those up too.

I would tell him - You want to fix the problem? write a check to comcast.

Sounds to me like this guy needs a little lesson learned about asking for things in a nice way.

The last person who tried to do something like that to me, was put at the bottom of my to do list. They ranted and raved, and I just said - sorry. I have 400 other tasks I must take care of first, and you aren't a priority.

Remind him that businesses ran for umteen years pre computer - and then give him a pencil and a piece of scratch paper.

Yes I do, Search. That's what I used, Adaware, and I seem to be in business now. :smile: Thanks for the suggestions though.

You are welcome :smile:. It's yet to let me down yet.

if you didn't search for porn...you wouldn't need it :wink:

if you didn't search for porn...you wouldn't need it

Words to live by, really...

heh...

It's all those evil ask kitch links you send my way.

It should tell you what virus it's infected with. Write that down, then go to the website for your antivirus program (semantic for Norton or McAfee) and look up the virus to see how to get rid of it. I wouldn't wait if I were you.

There are free antivirus programs you can get to get rid of it also.

I use AVAST..it seems to work pretty good.

day gets better and better. Ran outta time to take a lunch.. as usual.

Went down and raided the vending machine, found this bag of "munchies" has a mix of doritos, cheetos, sunchips and pretzels.. Looks like someone swept the floor at the frito-lay and dumped it in a bag.

Never thought of it that way...don't think I'll buy those out of the machine at work anymore :lipsealed:

eh, as long as theres no hair in 'em, whats the harm?

EWWWW!!! :lipsealed:

I don't care how hard your day has been, it doesn't give you the right to take it out on the munchies. What did the muchies ever do to you man... feed your need for sustinence in palatial satisfying way? Take it out on the jerk that isn't your boss, he deserves it. Use a version of that joke though... "Looks like someone swept (mopped?) the floor and dumped it in a bag" that wouldn't be too bad.

Summary: I love munchies.

Looks like Timmy is enjoying his annual MLK smoke fest once again. :goofy:

timmy your tagline isn't spelled correctly :wink:

it's a quote taken from written text so I couldn't edit it out. the culprit of the mispelling is none other than...

thx1138

CM I will give you $100 if you bring me a bag of munchies to my house withing 2 hours from the time this is posted. If you need directions just call me brotha.

heh

Why do you need me to pick up the munchies, can't you drive?

BWAHHH!!! :goofy: :cool:

new irritation

trying to track my clothing I shipped to MN to have Fed Ex not show any of my tracking numbers yet.

That would be JUST MY LUCK!

bah!

Believe me, ares. I had you in mind as my backup. :sillygrin:

I just thought it would be funny

all this talk about Munchies.... pffft...

Has everybody given up on the old faithful standby of Funyuns?

Sorry to hear about the clothes Sunny, but we'd like you even if you didn't wear anything!

:wink:

Cooler Crew Chick mrmnmikey Rules!! :coolfrown:

Chicks Only! :chagrin: :angry:

For Tim

share some of that whiteys grub, man!

Ha! I'm only trying to lose a little bit of me - not freeze all of me.

current irritation:

being 5 days away from the Crab Feed, and hoping everyone gets their act together in time.

including me.

12 hour shifts at work :frown:

My wifes Ford Escort having the timing belt break again for the 4th time in one year :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Oh and the warranty just running out on the repair because of being over milage by 8oo miles

My daughter had a similar problem but with a different part. Because the problem started when the car was still under warranty, it was still covered after the warranty ran out because it was an existing problem and hadn't been resolved.

I meant to reply to mrmikey. :smile:

But anyway, ares is right. And if the manager gives you trouble, write to the manufacturer. It's been replaced three times, all under warranty. They can't now just say, "Oops! Your warranty expired". The problem is documented as occurring previous to the expiration.

It wouldn't fly on People's Court!

We're bringing it to another ford dealer. The warrenty is for 1 year or 12000 miles. She puts on a lot of miles. They said they will work with us on this. Everytime theres a snowstorm this seems to happen. Snow must be getting into the belt area. Gettin to be a real pain though..

Hopefully a different person istalling it may help also.

we may endup writing to Ford if they don't take care of it. It should have been fixed right the 1st time.

yuk 3M. I had a similar problem with the breaks on my Saturn the 2 years I had it - 3 replacements from the drums up. Turns out there was a defect in something or other..

to this day (aside from pads themselves) b/c of the problem, they will fix anything having to do with the breaks for gratis.

The office assistant here who shipped my packages. ^*:confused:($*$!!!!

the clothes?

I hope they get here!?!?!?!

what day are you going to be here?

Uhoh! did he forget to ship them??
