Somebody Hates You

An ad proof just crossed my desk with a note from the sales goon - "Use a different font in [indicated section].  Client finds this one hard to read." 

It's a PDF the client created and e-mailed to us.

That's the story of my life Every. Gorram. Day.

I think one of the best calls I got was during major flooding in one of our smaller cities. A customer called in on their cellphone wondering why their broadband was down. I checked their number, saw they were being affected by the flood and asked if their land line was working. No, of course it wasn't, their phone exchange was knee deep in water and none of the phones, or broadband connections in the area were working. What was the customer's reaction when being told this?

"I don't care about my phone, I just want my internet working!"

There are times that I'm really glad I don't have a gun, or any other type of large weapon.

Ah, yes. I (not so) fondly remember my days on the helldesk.

I think my favorite was the guy that, when asked if he had a computer, replied, "No. But I have a VCR. Does that help?".
