      Comment


      • A man goes up to the minister at the local church.
        "Reverend," he said, we have a problem. My wife keeps falling asleep during your sermons. It's very embarrassing, not to mention disrespectful. What should I do?"
        "I've noticed this and have an idea. if you're up to the task," said the minister. "Take this hatpin with you. I will be able to tell when Mrs. Jones is sleeping, and I will motion to you at specific times. When I motion, you give her a good poke in the leg."
        In church the following Sunday, Mrs. Jones dozed off. Noticing this, the preacher put his plan to work. "And who made the ultimate sacrifice for you?" he said, nodding to Mr. Jones.
        "Jesus!" Mrs. Jones cried out as her husband jabbed her in the leg with the sharp object.
        "Yes! You are correct, Mrs. Jones!" came the minister's quick reply. Soon, Mrs. Jones nodded off again. And again, the minister noticed.
        "Who is your redeemer?" he asked the congregation, motioning toward Mr. Jones.
        "My God!" howled Mrs. Jones as she was stuck again with the pin.
        "Right again!" bellowed the minister, a slight grin on his face. Before long, Mrs. Jones again winked off. However, this time the minister did not notice. As he picked up the tempo of his sermon, he made a few hand gestures that Mr. Jones mistook as signals to sharply poke his wife with the hatpin yet again.
        The minister asked, "And what did Eve say to Adam after she bore him his 99th son?"
        Mrs. Jones screamed, "You stick that thing in me one more time and I'll break it in half and shove it up your ass!"
        "Amen!" replied all the women in the church.

          • Pinocchio had a human girlfriend who would sometimes complain About splinters when they were having sex.
            Pinocchio, therefore, went to visit Gepetto to see if he could help.
            Gepetto suggested he try a little sandpaper on his manhood and Pinocchio skipped away enlightened.
            A couple of weeks later, Gepetto saw Pinocchio bouncing happily through town and asked him, "How's the girlfriend?"
            Pinocchio replied, "Who needs a girlfriend?"

              • Murphys Laws Of Computing
                Murphy's Laws Of Computing


                For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.

                To err is human... to blame your computer for your mistakes is even more
                human; in fact it is downright natural.

                He who laughs last probably made a back-up.

                If at first you don't succeed, blame your computer.

                A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from
                a simpler system that worked just fine.

                The number one cause of computer problems is computer solutions.

                A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely what
                you want it to do.

                When computing, whatever happens, behave as though you meant it to happen.

                When you get to the point where you really understand your computer, it's
                probably obsolete.

                The first place to look for information is in the section of the manual
                where you least expect to find it.

                When the going gets tough, upgrade.

                When you need to send an email quick, that's when the modem won't connect!

                • Neanderthal Tech-Support



                  The tech-support problem dates back to long before the industrial
                  revolution, when primitive tribesmen beat out a rhythm on drums to
                  communicate:

                  Hullo. This fire help. Me Groog.

                  Me Lorto. Help. Fire not work.

                  You have flint and stone?

                  Ugh.

                  You hit them together?

                  Ugh.

                  What happen?

                  Fire not work.

                  (sigh) Make spark?

                  No spark, no fire, me confused. Fire work yesterday.

                  *sigh* You change rock?

                  I change nothing.

                  You sure?

                  Me make one change. Stone hot so me soak in stream so stone not burn Lorto
                  hand. Small change, shouldn't keep Lorto from make fire.

                  • Remember When
                    ...


                    A computer was something on TV
                    from a science fiction show of note
                    a window was something you hated to clean...
                    And ram was the cousin of a goat...

                    Meg was the name of my girlfriend
                    and gig was a job for the nights
                    now they all mean different things
                    and that really mega bytes

                    An application was for employment
                    a program was a TV show
                    a cursor used profanity
                    a keyboard was a piano

                    Memory was something that you lost with age
                    a cd was a bank account
                    and if you had a 3 1/2" floppy
                    you hoped nobody found out

                    Compress was something you did to the garbage
                    not something you did to a file
                    and if you unzipped anything in public
                    you'd be in jail for a while

                    Log on was adding wood to the fire
                    hard drive was a long trip on the road
                    a mouse pad was where a mouse lived
                    and a backup happened to your commode

                    Cut you did with a pocket knife
                    paste you did with glue
                    a web was a spider's home
                    and a virus was the flu

                    I guess i'll stick to my pad and paper
                    and the memory in my head
                    I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
                    but when it happens they wish they were dead

                    • Tech Support Diary



                      Monday
                      ------

                      8:05 am
                      User called to say they forgot password. Told them to use password
                      retrieval utility called FDISK. Blissfully ignorant, they thank me and hang
                      up. Man, we let the people vote and drive, too?

                      8:12 am
                      Accounting called to say they couldn't access expense reports database.
                      Gave them Standard Sys Admin Answer #112, "Well, it works for me." Let them
                      rant and rave while I unplugged my coffeemaker from the UPS and plugged
                      their server back in. Suggested they try it again. One more happy
                      customer.

                      8:14 am
                      User from 8:05 call said they received error message "Error accessing Drive
                      0." Told them it was an OS problem. Transferred them to microsupport.

                      11:00 am
                      Relatively quiet for last few hours. Decide to plug support phone back in
                      so I can call my girlfriend. Says parents are coming into town this
                      weekend. Put her on hold and transferred her to janitorial closet down in
                      basement. What is she thinking? The "Myst" and "Doom" nationals are this
                      weekend!

                      11:34 am
                      Another user calls (do they ever learn?). Says they want ACL changed on HR
                      performance review database so that nobody but HR can access database. Tell
                      them no problem. Hang up. Change ACL. Add @MailSend so performance
                      reviews are sent to */US.

                      12:00 pm
                      Lunch.

                      3:30 pm
                      Return from lunch.

                      3:55 pm
                      Wake up from nap. Bad dream makes me cranky. Bounce servers for no reason.
                      Return to napping.

                      4:23 pm
                      Yet another user calls. Wants to know how to change fonts on form. Ask
                      them what chip set they're using. Tell them to call back when they find
                      out.

                      4:55 pm
                      Decide to run "Create Save/Replication Conflicts" macro so next shift has
                      something to do.

                      Tuesday
                      -------

                      8:30 am
                      Finish reading support log from last night. Sounded busy. Terrible time
                      with Save/Replication conflicts.

                      9:00 am
                      Support manager arrives. Wants to discuss my attitude. Click on PhoneNotes
                      SmartIcon. "Love to, but kinda busy. Put something in the calendar
                      database!" I yell as I grab for the support lines, which have
                      (mysteriously) lit up. Walks away grumbling.

                      9:35 am
                      Team leader from R&D needs ID for new employee. Tell them they need form
                      J-19R=9C9\DARRK1. Say they never heard of such a form. Tell them it's in
                      the SPECIAL FORMS database. Say they never heard of such a database.
                      Transfer them to janitorial closet in basement.

                      10:00 am
                      Perky sounding intern from R&D calls and says she needs new ID. Tell her I
                      need employee number, department name, manager name, and marital status.
                      Run @DbLookup against state parole board database, Centers for Disease
                      Control database, and my Oprah Winfrey database. No hits. Tell her ID will
                      be ready tonight. Drawing from the lessons learned in last week's
                      "Reengineering for Customer Partnership," I offer to personally deliver ID
                      to her apartment.

                      10:07 am
                      Janitor stops by to say he keeps getting strange calls in basement. Offer
                      to train him on Notes. Begin now. Let him watch console while I grab a
                      smoke.

                      1:00 pm
                      Return from smoking break. Janitor says phones kept ringing, so he
                      transferred them to cafeteria lady. I like this guy.

                      1:05 pm
                      Big commotion! Support manager falls in hole left where I pulled floor
                      tiles outside his office door. Stress to him importance of not running in
                      computer room, even if I do yell "Fire!"

                      1:15 pm
                      Development Standards Committee calls and complains about umlauts in form
                      names. Apologizing for the inconvenience, I tell them I will fix it. Hang
                      up and run global search/replace using gaks.

                      1:20 pm
                      Mary Hairnet from cafeteria calls. Says she keeps getting calls for "Notice
                      Loads" or "NoLoad Goats," she's not sure, couldn't here over
                      industrial-grade blender. Tell her it was probably "Lettuce Nodes." Maybe
                      the food distributor with a new product? She thinks about it and hangs up.

                      2:00 pm
                      Legal secretary calls and says she lost password. Ask her to check in her
                      purse, floor of car, and on bathroom counter. Tell her it probably fell out
                      of back of machine. Suggest she put duct tape over all the airvents she can
                      find on the PC. Grudgingly offer to create new ID for her while she does
                      that.

                      2:49 pm

                      them Of course, they should have been checking "Bitset," not "chipset."
                      Sheepish user apologizes and hangs up.

                      terrible help at support desk. Tell them manager about to go into meeting.

                      10:00 am
                      Call Louie in janitorial services to cover for me. Go to support manager's
                      office. He says he can't dismiss me but can suggest several lateral career
                      moves. Most involve farm implements in third-world countries with moderate
                      to heavy political turmoil. By and by, I ask if he's aware of new bug which
                      takes full-text indexed random e-mail databases and puts all references to
                      furry handcuffs and Bambi Boomer in Marketing on the corporate Web page.
                      Meeting is adjourned as he reaches for keyboard, Web browser, and Tums.

                      8:00 am
                      New guy ("Marvin") started today. "Nice plaids" I offer. Show him server
                      room, wiring closet, and technical library. Set him up with IBM PC-XT.
                      Tell him to quit whining, Notes runs the same in both monochrome and color.

                      8:45 am
                      New guy's PC finishes booting up. Tell him I'll create new ID for him. Set
                      minimum password length to 64. Go grab smoke.

                      9:30 am
                      Introduce Louie the custodian to Marvin. "Nice plaids" Louie comments. Is
                      this guy great or what?!

                      11:00 am
                      Beat Louie in dominos game. Louie leaves. Fish spare dominos out of
                      sleeves ("Always have backups"). User calls, says Accounting server is
                      down. Untie Ethernet cable from radio antenna (better reception) and plug
                      back into hub. Tell user to try again. Another happy customer!

                      11:55 am
                      Brief Marvin on Corporate Policy 98.022.01: "Whereas all new employee
                      beginning on days ending in 'Y' shall enjoy all proper aspects with said
                      corporation, said employee is obligated to provide sustenance and relief to
                      senior technical analyst on shift."

                      Marvin doubts. I point to "Corporate Policy" database (a fine piece of
                      work, if I say so myself!). "Remember, that's DOUBLE pepperoni and NO
                      peppers!" I yell to Marvin as he steps over open floor tile to get to exit
                      door.

                      1:00 pm
                      Oooooh! Pizza makes me so sleepy.

                      4:30 pm
                      Wake from refreshing nap. Catch Marvin scanning want ads.

                      5:00 pm
                      Shift change. Flick HR's server off and on several times (just testing the
                      On/Off button...). See ya tomorrow.

                      Friday
                      ------

                      8:00 am
                      Night shift still trying to replace power supply in HR server. Told them it
                      worked fine before I left.

                      9:00 am
                      Marvin still not here. Decide I might start answering these calls myself.
                      Unforward phones from Mailroom.

                      9:02 am
                      Yep. A user call. Users in Des Moines can't replicate. Me and the Oiuji
                      board determine it's sunspots. Tell them to call Telecommunications.

                      9:30 am
                      Shoot, another user! They're like ants. Says he's in San Diego and can't
                      replicate with Des Moines. Tell him it's sunspots, but with a two-hour
                      difference. Suggest he reset the time on the server back two hours.

                      10:17 am
                      Pensacola calls. Says they can't route mail to San Diego. Tell them to set
                      server ahead three hours.

                      11:00 am
                      E-mail from corporate says for everybody to quit resetting the time on their
                      servers. I change the date stamp and forward it to Milwaukee.

                      11:20 am
                      Finish @CoffeeMake macro. Put phone back on hook.

                      11:23 am
                      Milwaukee calls, asks what day it is.

                      11:25 am
                      Support manager stops by to say Marvin called in to quit. "So hard to get
                      good help..." I respond. Support manager says he has appointment with
                      orthopedic doctor this afternoon, and asks if I mind sitting in on the
                      weekly department head meeting for him. "No problem!"

                      11:30 am
                      Call Louie and tell him opportunity knocks and he's invited to a meeting
                      this afternoon. "Yeah, sure. You can bring your snuff" I tell him.

                      12:00 am
                      Lunch.

                      1:00 pm
                      Start full backups on UNIX server. Route them to device NULL to make them
                      fast.

                      1:03 pm
                      Full weekly backups done. Man, I love modern technology!

                      2:30 pm
                      Look in support manager's contact management database. Cancel 2:45 pm
                      appointment for him. He really should be at home resting, you know.

                      Tell them to run connection document utility CTRL-ALT-DEL. Says PC

                      Support manager calls to say mixup at doctor's office means appointment
                      cancelled. Says he's just going to go on home. Ask him if he's seen
                      corporate Web page lately.

                      3:00 pm
                      Another (novice) user calls. Says periodic macro not working. Suggest they
                      place @DeleteDocument at end of formula. Promise to send them document
                      addendum which says so.

                      4:00 pm

                      • The priest in a small Irish village was very fond of the chickens he kept in the hen house out the back of the parish manse.
                        He had a **** rooster and about ten hens.
                        One Saturday night the **** rooster was missing and as that was the time he suspected **** fights occurred in the village he decided to do something about it at church the next morning.
                        At Mass, he asked the congregation,
                        "Has anybody got a ****?" All the men stood up.
                        "No no" he said. "That wasn't what I meant. Has anybody seen a ****?" All the women stood up.
                        "No no" he said. "That wasn't what I meant. Has anybody seen a **** that doesn't belong to them." Half the women stood up.
                        "No no" he said. "That wasn't what I meant either. "Has anybody seen my ****?" All the choir boys stood up.

                        • True Tech-Support Stories



                          1. Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to "Press
                          Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the "Any" key
                          is.

                          2. AST technical support had a caller complaining that her mouse was hard
                          to control with the dust cover on. The cover turned out to be the
                          plastic bag the mouse was packaged in.

                          3. Another Compaq technician received a call from a man complaining that
                          the system couldn't read word processing files from his old diskettes.
                          After trouble-shooting for magnets and heat failed to diagnose the
                          problem, it was found that the customer labeled the diskettes then
                          rolled them into the typewriter to type the labels.

                          4. Another AST customer was asked to send a copy of her defective
                          diskettes. A few days later a letter arrived from the customer along
                          with Xeroxed copies of the floppies.

                          5. A Dell technician advised his customer to put his troubled floppy back
                          in the drive and close the door. The customer asked the tech to hold
                          on, and was heard putting the phone down, getting up and crossing the
                          room to close the door to his room.

                          6. Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his computer to fax
                          anything. After 40 minutes of trouble-shooting, the technician
                          discovered the man was trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in
                          front of the monitor screen and hitting the "send" key.

                          7. Another Dell customer needed help setting up a new program, so a Dell
                          tech suggested he go to the local Egghead. "Yeah, I got me a couple of
                          friends," the customer replied. When told Egghead was a software
                          store, the man said, "Oh, I thought you meant for me to find a couple of
                          geeks."

                          8. Yet another Dell customer called to complain that his keyboard no longer
                          worked. He had cleaned it by filling up his tub with soap and water and
                          soaking the keyboard for a day, then removing all the keys and washing
                          them individually.

                          9. A Dell technician received a call from a customer who was enraged
                          because his computer had told him he was "bad and an invalid." The tech
                          explained that the computer's "bad command" and "invalid" responses
                          shouldn't be taken personally.

                          10. An exasperated caller to Dell Computer Tech Support couldn't get her new
                          Dell Computer to turn on. After ensuring the computer was plugged in,
                          the technician asked her what happened when she pushed the power button.
                          Her response, "I pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing
                          happens." The "foot pedal" turned out to be the computer's mouse.

                            rendezvous to your Visa card.

                            It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way that is fun
                            until someone loses an eye.

                            It will give you Dutch Elm Disease and Tinnitus.

                            It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to passive
                            tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings which grossly change the
                            interpretation of key sentences.

                            If the "Badtimes" message is opened in a Windows 95 environment, it will
                            leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously
                            close to a full bathtub.

                            It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows,
                            but it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk.

                            It will replace all your luncheon meat with Spam.

                            It will molecularly rearrange your cologne or perfume, causing it to smell
                            like the B.O. of that gross person nobody liked in high school.

                            It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold.

                            These are just a few signs of infection.
