I just heard my fellow coworker say to a customer:

"Now that we have that resolved, let me finish what I was doing with your wife." - I dunno about you, but I took this COMPLETELY out of context.

Where's the guy with the hook when you need him?

Had a rather ripe customer come in yesterday, but the one thing worse than his aroma was how this guy thinks he's a real comedian. Everything I tried to tell him regarding spyware, his machine, or our services was answered by some sort of smart-ass remark. When I gave him a bit of a puzzled look (mostly because my eyes were watering from the smell) he made remarks along the lines of "You have NO sense of humor, young man"

Then, on the way out the door, he asks how much I think it's going to cost. I tell him probably $82.50 for one and a half hours.

His reply: "How about I give you a dollar now, and one dollar for every thing you remove."

*evilgrin* Well, sir, that will be JUST FINE! Oh yes it will!

hmmm

Anyone know why a db25 SCSI card would refuse to detect under 2k SP4?

Special troubelshooting steps

And sometimes, us techs need tech support...
Troubleshooting, troubleshooting, blah blah blah.
Need to get an ip address from the client
Type ipconfig /all on my computer while I'm getting the client to do it. Old habits die hard and I'm not meant to be doing anything other then working on the call while I'm on the call, so no MSN or anything to distract me.
Get her to read me the info, then realize that the "restart" she did, actually didn't release and renew her IP.
Decide to get her to do it manually.
Direct client to type ipconfig /release on her computer.
Do it at the same time on mine.
Hit enter on mine.
COMPLETLY SHUT DOWN ALL CONNECTIVITY ON MY WORKSTATION.

I am special. Yes, yes I am.

WTF?

All right guys...  I never thought this would happen, but I'm calling in the favor.

My computer has a problem, and I can't think of how to fix it.  (Well, formatting works, but I'm trying to avoid that).

Here's the situation.  I was updating my AIM when suddenly I received a BSOD.  The error was BAD_POOL_HEADER.  When I reboot and attempt to start AIM, I receive:

"aim.exe - Bad Image

The application or DLL C:\Program Files\AIM95\Xprt.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette."

I've tried rebooting.  Doesn't work.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling.  I get the same BSOD when reinstalling.  Just for giggles, I ran chkdsk c: /r overnight and it didn't catch anything bad with the drive.

Thoughts?  Suggestions?
