...transform this decaying body into Suck-Rah, The ALWAYS ANNOYING!
Sorry...lack of sleep and a total asshole does strange things to my brain.
So it's the end of the first night shift of the week and a call comes in. One of our off site labs has a computer that's borked. The description makes it sound like it's a simply keyboard issue.
So since it's the last 15 minutes of my shift, I decide that I'll head on out and take care of the issue on my way home since it's not that far out of my way.
I get there and there is this elderly couple going into the building. Slowly.
I'm not in a rush, the sun is out, it's surprisingly warm for late February, and I'm in a good mood.
Damn that good mood. It must be what's attracting these assholes. Rather like flies to your opened soda at a picnic.
So these folks are heading into the lab and once in they go to the check in area and do their check-in thing.
I of course head to the entrance to the lab and look for the ailing PC. I find it and start working on it.
Now the man comes over and he's livid. His face is beet red. He demands to know why I was seen first when he came in the door first. The nurse explains that I was there to fix the computer.
This answer does not appease him. He goes into a rant how the younger generations don't respect their elders, how he's a veteran of 2 wars, how disgraceful this all is, how it's Obama's fault...
I had blocked him out as much as I could but bits of his tirade were filtering in. At one point he even mentioned the fact that Maryland had just passed the bill allowing Gay Marriage...as if that had anything to do with a tits-up computer and me fixing it.
So eventually I stand back and tell the nurse to deal with this fellow before he worked himself into a coronary.
Turns out that he had just stopped in to make an appointment. He was told that he would have to wait as the scheduling computer was out of service.
More rants, more ravings and says he'll call later to schedule since he's in a powerful hurry. He storms off muttering under his breath (yet somehow still loud enough to carry down the hall) "God Damn lazy motherfuckers. How goddamn hard is it to call someone to come over and fix the goddamn computers?"
Me and the three nurses and techs in the room with me all face-palmed at the same time.
4 minutes later the computer had a new keyboard and was logged in and loading the software.
Dumbass!
