A one-sided phone call...

[celyste.livejournal.com]

What do you mean, "When is the technician coming back?" Why does he have to go back, he was just replacing a decertified modem?

Ok... so... He said your computer was out of date and needed to be updated. I'm with you so far. I see on the file it's win98 first ed. I'm a bit amazed it works on our network to begin with. But please continue on the 'when is he returning' bit.

YOU let him TAKE your computer?!?!?! HE said he was going to UPDATE it? Sir, we don't fix computers, we deal in internet and modems.

Do you mind holding for just a minute while I try and track him down? You don't happen to have his name and id number with you, do you? Oh... he didn't give it to you. Of course not. One moment please.

- how does one allow someone you don't know to take your precious lifeline to the world and not even take down even a fake phone number? I was shocked to say the least.

In a way, I do feel sorry for this person, because they probably had everything on there: personal documentation, financials, you name it.

One the other paw, though... ::starts laughing again::

On the other paw, the guy who stole it got a Win98 box :P

Yeah. 1st ed kinda sucked.

If it was 2nd ed, and one of the machines that ran stable on it, it'd be another story.

I checked the account a couple days later... the tech did go back with the pc. So I'm guessing he dug through, got all the passwords and account info, and didn't want the crappy box anymore. *L*

Was this actually a tech yr co. had on the books? Is he gonna be fired/sent to the cops? =)
