A very long day, and it's only half over.

[Xarthedia]

Y'know, usually our callers are polite, well-mannered and even happy, but today the suckiness is out in full force. Maybe it's the weather, or maybe they're just pissed that their brats are home all day now.

Mr. Impatient
Me: "Hm. Alright, sir, I think we should try running though a few things to see if.."
SC: "Nonsense. I have a perfectly regular system with everything set to standard. I just want you to fix this!"
Me: *pause* "Well..."
SC: "Well, WHAT? Are you gonna fix it or not?"
Me: "Actually, sir, if you're not willing to let me guide you through our standard troubleshooting procedure, there's not much I can do."
SC: "So you're not gonna fix it. FINE! I'll figure something out on my own, then!"
Me: "Alright." *hangs up*

Well, excuse me, Mr. Almighty Grand Bobwizard of Imaginary Techieness and The Darts of The Overgrown Hot Air Numbskull, but if you won't even think about the option of the problem being on your end, then there's nothing I can do. Go away, have a nice night and I hope the Boogyman eats you in the morning. I'd wish for zombies, but they'd starve to death trying to find your brain.

I hope he's not a mailman...
Received in an e-mail:

<snip> Why do I have to log in to [Site] via [Type A Login] to see a certain type of documents just because the sender's union says so?! It's [male cow feces] that [Site] allows this type of [stinky stuff] to go on!</snip>

A: You answered your own question.
B: ASK THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THE RULE!

You are indeed a rare and pitiful breed, my friend. Go whap yourself directly in the face with the complete Encyclopedia Britannica a few hundred times, take two Tylenol and go to sleep. I'm sure you'll feel better in the morning.

Put the bottle DOWN!
SC: Iiii can't open my... docshumensh on [Site]. I gesh schis winshow that... *remainder of sentence vanishes in a drunken murmur*

For the love of all that is good and holy, if you can't stay sober long enough to make a 7-minute phone call, send a mail instead. And hang up the friggin' phone, lady, I can smell the booze on your breath through the phone lines >.<

That's a little harsh, don't you think?
That cliche kind of drives me nuts.
If people hate having their children around so much, why have them?
Not all children are brats, and not everyone resents having to spend time with their children.

I suspect the irritability of the callers has more to do with the heat.

You know, I have yet to run into any parent who has not voiced either joy at the fact that their kids will be in school during the days when school starts in the fall or acted mournful over the fact that summer means they'll be home during the day.

Take that as you like.

Well, you've just run into one. Take that as you like.

Mod Hat On

After some thought and confering I've decided to leave this as is with this warning:

The topic of this post is SC's- let's keep it to the topic of SC's. Let's not discuss the child/parent thing anymore.

Moving on...
