I can't log in!

Cliff notes of an email exchange:

ID10T: Help Help! I can't log in!
SAINT: *CHECKCHECKCHECK* You're login is fine...
ID10T: Oh, I'm fine - I just can't log in as *terminated employee* Why doesn't their account work?
SAINT: ...
ID10T: It's REALLLY important!
SAINT: They're TERMINATED. Their login is DISABLED. If you need on to that machine for the programs, your login.
ID10T: OH! Do I have a login?

.... How the hell did I get this message if you don't have a login?

Bad Toilet...

Recap: IS/IT Helldesk for a hospital.

Received an email today (I swear, it's the long weekend that makes people absolutely insane) from someone in the surgical part. People know that we're tech support, but this made me giggle:

Subject: Bad Toilet

We need someone to come fix a running toilet.
Thanks

The subject alone made me snicker. "Bad toilet! No cookie!" Maybe it has a virus... :)

.... welcome to .IE

TOday, inbetween calls such as "yes I am trying to past 7 pages of email ddresses to thto: field" and "I can;t wait foer the onsiter, I am going to crash the server on purpose!" I got say something rather unexpected to a customer.

"I'm sorry but I cant quite hear you, it's raining so hard here."

Because your a random email is more informed

So, today I get an email forward from the General Manager on propery. He's EXTREMELY concerned about this and wants to make sure I've told everyone about it!

It's a second hand forward with a Snopes link about the UPS/Fedex/etc mails that are going around saying "Hey, here's your tracking information! Run this program to find out more!"

I emailed back the message I sent around three weeks ago about it, asking "You mean like I already did ~~but you obviously never actually READ it~~?"

This is the guy that goes on and on about "We've got to improve our communications!"

Not totally on topic but I'm curious

Any of you guys get to try Google's new Chrome browser? Any thoughts? Anyone else immediately think how incredibly grandparent-unfriendly it is?
