Yes, please, hold your screaming baby up to the phone. It's not like I've got this headset all but Physically Implanted on my ear, and can't pull it away and work on the issue at the same time.

And while you're at it, why don't you breathe heavy on the other end, or otherwise blow into the mic on your phone? To me, that's as refreshing as a spring rain.

And, please, just sigh and complain when I ask you simple questions, like what your domain name is. You're right, I should have known that information even before I picked up the phone. I mean, after all, it is YOU who's calling, not anyone else.

And, by all means, please tell me how disapointed you are at the company I (sorta) work for. Even though I'm answering your calls down here in Tech Support, I'm actually the COO of the company, and I thought everything was going just fine with everyone, and everyone else I've talked to has been perfectly happy with the network-wide outage.

And while you're at it, also complain to me about how long you had to spend on hold, because honestly, I was just sitting here, goofing off, playing Nethack while your call was blinking on my phone. I most assuredly was not being delayed by other customers complaining about how disapointed they are in the company, or about how long they had to spend on hold.

And, of course, because you're on MY phone, I will call every engineer to fix your problem with your FrontPage Extentions, and let you speak to them directly. They, of course, are just sitting over there playing Nethack as well, and not trying to fix other people's servers. And, of course, if you don't think you're getting enough service there, I'll be able to transfer you directly to the CEO of the company. I've got his own personal private number right here.

And, because you're on my phone, I will be able to bend the rules of space, time, and Microsoft, to magically create IP addresses, have DNS propigate in hours, and not days, and will be able to give you credits on your account because the server loaded up the index.htm page instead of the index.html page. And, yes, I can compltely re-write Windows 2000 and put in there your suggestion of how things SHOULD work.
