This lady called in today for support, and her name was misty. Right there I knew I was in trouble. Here's how the call went.

Misty: Hi, I'm getting a... "Write failure on hard disk" error when I turn on my computer.

Me: Okay, how long have you had this problem, and have you made any hardware changes to your system recently?

Misty: About a week, and nope, no changes.

Me: Anything unusual happen? You know, storms or something like that.

Misty: Well, the computer was smoking, and then it stopped working.

Me's Brain: Fuck you guys, I'm going for beer.

Me: buh..buh.....buh

Misty: Does this mean I've lost my thesis? I don't have it backed up.

Me: *click*BANG
