Your Freudian Slip is Showing...

Have you ever tried to speak while something else was on your mind, and your words came out all wrong?
I'm a late-night phone-monkey, and i just thoroughly embarassed myself.

Between calls, me and a couple other guys were talking about random things, and just as one of us related some incredible experience and one of the others said, "Jesus!", i got the beep signalling an incoming call, so i turn around and unmute, beginning my opening spiel:

"Thank you for calling Jesus--er...oh man...Thank you for calling [company name]!! How can we help you today?"

The rest of the conversation was peppered with me trying (and sometimes failing) to control my giggling.

Has anything like this happened to you folks?

Quit trying to distract me!

I know its all the rage for coeds to show skin these days, but come on.  It is really hard for me to intelligently explain your problem when you're waving your 38DDs in my face and are damned near trying to poke my eye out with a nipple. The view's nice and all, but not when I'm trying to actually work.

Gah

Slow week here. It's finals week so everyone is occupied with that and not bugging us for a change. Finally someone wants something. They bought a new machine and it came with XP 64-bit. They dont like 64 bit and want XP 32-bit put on it. No problem right? I jump at the ticket because I'm bored out of my mind and run off to do it. XP initial install goes fine, freezes at the blankity blank windows splash screen after reboot. Non-standard systems make Pyro something something.

Now back to troubleshooting, just needed a quick vent.

EDIT: Got it past the splash screen. For those curious (I would be) the graphics card was throwing an error for some reason. Reseating it seems to have made it happy. Also it's painfully obvious the user set this machine up without our help. When I need to rummage for a screw driver to unscrew the DVI cable and the screw from the graphics card comes off with it you made it just a little too tight. Just a little.

So you say that your fax just suddenly stopped working. That's fine, probably not a hard fix. The programming is correct in the switch. There's no dial tone coming from the wall jack it's plugged into. I check in the telecom room and find out that that wall jack is cross connected to...
Another wall jack.
The mind reels.
