I was told buy some ass tonight that his question about the anit virus software was "Too sophisticated for a female."

This "Oh but you are a female what you would know?" crap doesn't bug me but holy fuck tonight this one pissed me off.

Especially when I was the only one who knew how to answer and fix his fucking problem.  But all of us girls are had fun tonight saying "Its too sophisticated for me!" whenever someone else on the floor asked us something!

Ughhh, men can be such assholes!

FUCK I hate that chauvinistic bullshit.

It makes me so mad that it is the year 2008 and there are people who still can't get it through their inch-thick skulls that women are every bit as good at this job as men (and in some cases better, because I've known some guys who are shit at this job).

The reason he was having trouble with getting his brain around the anti-virus software was probably because his head is stuck up his ass.

I find that always makes troubleshooting difficult.

Your icon... what's that quote from? It sounds vaguely like something Jane Austen might say.

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Not quite. Terry Pratchett's Granny Weatherwax.

[demented-pants.livejournal.com]

Ahh! Granny.

I do love Granny.

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

"I can't be havin' with this!"

[salavora.livejournal.com]

Granny!
She's just great! *g*

That NaNoWriMo icon is the most awesome icon I have seen in a long time. Much laughter has been had.

I wonder if people like that are the same people who know more about your Cisco network than you do because "they have an MSc in Electrical Engineering and have been in the business for 40 years."

Something tells me that the "business" they've been in isn't the one relevant to the problem at hand...

Geez. It was too complicated for him, and he was a man.

I get that too. "I need to talk to a tech."
A tech would tell you to turn it off and on again just as eloquently as I would.

[alcoholiday.livejournal.com]

That's when you reply, "I am a tech. Now... [solution]"

Although sometimes I just want to hang up. My boss is female as well, so I'm sure she would understand :)

My usual response was "Last I checked, nobody here diagnoses problems with their reproductive organs, so I really don't see how it matters that I keep mine on the inside, but if you really want someone who has considerably less experience than I do I can put you back on hold for half an hour or so until one of the boys is free...."
You'd think satnav would have trained them all into following basic instructions from women by now wouldn't you?

[emsporter.livejournal.com]

I'm stealing that phrase forthwith, if you don't mind...

[random-c.livejournal.com]

Feel free.

Argh!
Males can be such idiots!
Fortunatly at my comp. that not a problem.
If your number is among those of the tech support, then people will asume, you know what you are doing, not caring about gender or nationality.

[fluffydragon.livejournal.com]

hey - looking for group icon.. nice. I started reading that a few months ago. I like Richard.. he's funny.

[salavora.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah! He is!
Have you seen the video "I will slaughter your world?"

Here are at least two very active LJ-Communties, come and join! ( I have the icon from one of the members of one of the Communities btw)

[fluffydragon.livejournal.com]

[salavora.livejournal.com]

1. wtf is "cooking-mama"?
2. you might want to say "nsfw" when you're linking to a page of furry crap with hard-core fuck video ads loaded down the side of it, plskthx. Not that I PERSONALLY have somebody else watchdogging my steps on the internet at work, but I'd imagine a lot of people here do.

[the-it-crone.livejournal.com]

1) it's an idiotic Nintendo cooking game aimed at girls
2) THANK YOU! I hate assholes like that (pun intended)

[drwally.livejournal.com]

Yup, seriously... the 21st frickin century and this idiocy perpetuates. Sometimes I think it's just an immature fear of being shown up by a woman, but that's no excuse - that's a handicap.

[amynnah.livejournal.com]

We get it from female users too... "Oh, you can't help me with this..." ....for a password reset.

Yes... I would love to reach through the phone on occasion. I'm still waiting on that electric shock via keyboard button.
