N00BS! They're everywhere at my workplace now. Thank feck management hired more, but along with n00bs comes n00b grief.

We have a couple of gimps posting to our spam list with call notes they find HILARIOUS.

OUTLANDISH and STRANGE occurrences like CUSTOMERS OVERESTIMATING THE EXTENT OF OUR SUPPORT SCOPE AND WANTING HELP WITH A VIDEO CARD! HAHAH!

Or perhaps the timeless side-splitting jape of AN ELDERLY WOMAN NOT KNOWING HOW TO SCROLL AND ASKING FOR HELP WITH THAT!!! TOO GODDAMN FUNNY!.

Meh. At least they're taking calls.

The trouble I had with the trainees was the almost complete lack of clue. I have no idea where we got them from but one of them didn't know what safe mode was.

I'm glad we don't have such a list in our office.

Then again if people want to laugh about stupid calls they got, they yell across the rows of cubicles to each other instead. Making me not able to hear the calls I'm on very well.

Maybe we actually should get a list for that crap...

*snort* Haha.


I wish we'd start hiring cool people again. Once upon a time we were filled with a majority of intelligent people, who also had an excellent sense of humour.

Now we just get dropkicks who live with mum n dad, and just got out of uni. Life experience not necessary.

Give em a month or so. They won't find any of those occurances funny anymore. Instead they'll be bitching on techsupport-support forums! ;-)

We've got a list of the best quotes on our common drive. Seems the best option, as we can giggle at it without bothering the others.
