Oh you mean the 'reboot every hour' button...I'm workin on it.

No nukes!

Harvest their body parts for black market sales and let's get rich.

[trenthamfamily.livejournal.com]

Get more for the brains since they aren't being USED!

Why didn't you just tell them to click 'accept'?

[trenthamfamily.livejournal.com]

*sigh*

You'd think that someone with a law degree would do that fully knowing that I already told them I was going to try to access their computer. SAdly not in most cases.

[chickenfart.livejournal.com]

Yes, sadly that individual spent their life studying law and not computers. Tsk tsk.

[trenthamfamily.livejournal.com]

But then again there was that pop up box that they knew was coming that said "*my name* is trying to proxy into your computer, do you with to ACCEPT or REJECT the connection"...unfortunately although I'm sure they're very good at law, common sense didn't seem to be mixed in there.

Oh my! How frustrating!

Too bad you can't make it easier for you and the client by walking them through such tasks instead of waiting to see if they can do it and hitting your head against office furniture when they don't.

[trenthamfamily.livejournal.com]

Like the icon!

Actually it does get frustrating because there are certain people that call in all the time that know how to do it but just...well, don't. No explanation other than they just won't stop and listen to direction witihout having to interrupt every other word you say and decide to put you on hold while they try something 'else' real quick therefore making the problem worse...while trying to do something else also not listening to my explaining to them that it is not only NOT going to work but will make things harder to fix once I CAN get into their computer.

Thanks!

Makes sense.

One would hope that somewhere in the study of law, they had come across the difference between the words 'accept' and 'deny'.

No kidding...anyways, aren't attorneys supposed to READ everything before taking action?
