did you not get the memo that the cake is a lie?

[mptphlosofer.livejournal.com]

I should've seen that one coming. I hear more cake is to be served soon on XBLA. I are starving.

I would have won every bet that this was going to be the first comment. XD~

So is that "See? Not all customers are evil," "See not! All customers are evil," or "See not, all! Customers are evil!"

My money's on one of the last two being more accurate.

one customer of mine was so happy he asked for the address here so he could send me a box of chocolates. i didn't initially give him the address, so he asked me again for it on another call a few days later. not only did he send chocolates, but he sent GODIVA!!!

but most other customers are still evil.

I agree. Most customers are satan's spawn. But I have been given beer, wine, baked goods and other cool stuff in return for a good job- from the good few.

One of our customers, who i can safely tell you is the US distributor of Irn-Bru, sent us 6 cases of Irn-Bru for getting them out of a jam.

SIX CASES OF IRN-BRU.

Best. Customer. Ever. i don't really even think we did anything that special but apparently he begged to differ. I guess doing what you say is rare in the software world these days.

Wow, never heard of Irn-Bru... from what I can see on the interwebs it sounds tastylicious.

[heinousbitca.livejournal.com]

Oh, is it ever. I mean, it's made in Scotland...from girders!

(Also, a bottle in the morning with a hit of Berocca and a Powerbar....makes the world a better place. Simple carbs, complex carbs, mess of B vitamins, and happy.)

An Irn Bru and a meat pie are my idea of heaven. With a side of chips and beans and a macaroon to finish it off.

[mattcaron.livejournal.com]

I make badass meat pies. Trust me.

[mynameisnotreal.livejournal.com]

Care to share the recipe?

[mattcaron.livejournal.com]

Linky (http://www.mattcaron.net/lj_images/meat_pie.pdf).

The secret is to season it just right, which is kind of a "to taste" thing. Other folks seem to like my taste, so it works.

[mynameisnotreal.livejournal.com]

I... I... I don't know if I hate you or love you. If it's love, it's only because I want to get you to send me Irn Bru. I would kill for a case of Irn Bru.

Are you sure that it's not poison?

Back when I was working at the local pc repair shithole I was given free wine and list price beer as a perk for doing a great job with the beer distributors network.

Also on my first service call when I was 19, the client (a 31yo MILF) poured me a nice glass of white wine while I installed her new computer. We became fast friends, even to this day. Came over one day and she was outside puffin on a joint to "help with her menstrual cramps". I hear it works well for that... Nice little contact high while I worked on her stuff. She offered, I was just too straight laced to accept.

Baked goods are always welcome!

Mmm, cake.

Sometimes the divisions of my company send us donuts, or bagels. We do have a monthly 'birthday' event in which they have cake or other delicious sweet snacks, though.

<suspicion>this is some sort of lie, isn't it?</suspicion>

Best onsite tech call I've ever done coincided with a company get together of some sort. Free soda, Lou Malnati's deep dish pizza, and an assortment of their latest candies (they are a conffectionery).
"The network's down?... What network?...Here, have some Pizza."

Sometimes the pains are well worth it.

Several years ago, I worked on a computer for a friend of my grandfather. In return, they gave me a bunch of silver coins. I still have them; at the current NY spot silver price, they're worth about $300.
