Giles ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I called the help desk the other day when I got logged out and couldn't log in. The help desk guy on the phone was totally flummoxed and tried everything...until I realized I used the wrong login. Sorry, help desk.
They already think I'm stupid because the lower volume on my telephone doesn't work, and I accepted their solution of "turn up the volume."
Kat, you have email! I think. Probably in more than one place.
I don't mind calls that are ultimately user error, because that's the overwhelming majority. I mean, I almost called the main company help desk the other day because I couldn't get on our intranet site. I finally realized my Caps Lock was on while I was entering my password, although I would have sworn up and down that it was off.
It's just. Some people are walking, talking, e-mailing User Errors.

So very aptly put.
shrift, that's an ID10T problem.
Well, that casts the whole, "Around 3 pm, Robert Goulet shows up and messes with your stuff," commercial in a far more disturbing light
Hah! OMG, that's funny. But I LOVE the commercial with the bunny feet! It's so cute!!
Nora Ephron's Six Stages of Email is pretty funny.
What do you call those rubber things you put over cables if you have to run them across the floor? So that you can roll things over them without catching? I need to suggest one to somebody, and I can't work out how to name it.
edit: sometimes asking the question answers it, or at least provides the search terms for Google. 'Tis a cable guard.
I sure as hell hope my SIL's mother doesn't muck this up (she's been pulling some PA stuff about when she's going to visit and really pissing off SIL,) but I've bought my tickets to visit. That's going to be MY week with the boys.
My mother wanted me to visit again this summer, but that just isn't happening. She's still in Alabama, they're going to CO for a week when she gets back, I can't take leave those following weeks until I leave, then school starts up for her and.. I'd love to visit. It's just too complicated to schedule in the next couple months. I'll find out when they have a 4 day weekend this fall or something.
