sad thing is that this kid is either a senior in high school, or just graduated from high school, I just looked at his DOB on our login system. Now, I dont work for an ISP, I work for a Gaming Center/CyberCafe establishment.. but, sheesh, if you can beat me in a game, I expect you to be able to convey thoughts in coherent (doesn't have to be complete, I'm not your english teacher!) sentances!

I Must Be A Masochist To Keep Doing This...

me: put the install cd in the drive. ok, now restart the computer. when the screen goes black hold fdown the "c" key" Keep on holding it until you see the words "preparing installation on your screen.

idiot: "um...ok." (a minute or so goes by) "I think something's wrong, there's a little apple on my screen and a wheel spinning like i'm booting up"

me: yeah, it's supposed to do that, the "preparigng installation should appear in about a minute. when it does, let go of the key."

idiot: "what do you want me to look for? I already let go of the key"

me: (rather slowly) "pre-par-ing in-stal-la-tion. ok, it might or might not boot to the cd now, we'll find out in a minute."

idiot: "ok, it says preparing installtion. is that good or bad?"

me: *blink* *twitch*

I first must say, OH MY GOD!

Boss: I noticed that the monitor was turned off in the server room. Did you turn it off?

Me: Yes I did, it was the end of the day, I noticed it was on, and I turned the monitor off. (Like, uh no big deal, duh.)

Boss: Well, I need that to be left on. I remote into the server from home, and I need the monitor to be left on so I can remote in.

Me: I walked out of the room, I couldn't even correct her, otherwise I'd be almost laughing. (In my head, I'm saying to myself, "OH MY FKING GOD!! No way did she just say that!")

Just the day before... (Just a side note: I recently had started this new job.) I had asked her for the admin login instead of her F'd up twenty million login's for god knows what. At the time hoping she'd just turn around at her desk, to her PC, to just modify that account for me, instead she replies, "Do we really need a password for the Admin login?".

OMG!!!!!!!! ...I really did say.. "OH NO WAY!!!", she said "Really?, you think we really do?"... Heh, unbelievable... I wonder how the hell she has the position of IT Director.

I already knew I wanted to be management, but this just makes me even more anxious to get there. Oh man.................
