techrecoveryI work for an ISP in a small somewhat-rural town (~30,000 people)
Why do people feel the need to say "yeah this is so and so on such and such road, I've been a customer for x number of years"? Guess what? I don't FUCKING care. If I DID care I'd say "hey why don't you tell me all about yourself" instead of "how can I help you".
When I answer the phone, I say "[my company name]" NOT "ebay". Therefore, logic would suggest that I do not have your fucking EBAY password you inbred moron. Insert amazon, myspace, etc for "ebay" and it becomes a whole new happy fun time call!
If you're not smart enough to sign up for a partypoker account, go buy a DECK OF GOD DAMN PLAYING CARDS YOU RETARD. "It keeps saying my password must be 8 characters long, what does that mean?" OK, I gave him the benefit of the doubt (maybe he was having a "duh" day), so I told him "that means the password has to have at least 8 letters or numbers. Then he says "it says the 'real name' field has to have at least 3 characters, what does that mean?" /stabbity stab stab stab die you dumb half-literate fucker
And if that's not good enough, our mail server administrator left today... we were short staffed to begin with, so it's gonna be even better now. Our owner (for some reason) doesn't seem to think hiring someone to replace him is a good move, so instead we're being moved to working four 10 hour days a week instead of five 8 hour days. WTF is that going accomplish?
Sorry guys, I just had to rant. What a day. What a week.
I need to find a new job. Anyone know of any openings around Columbus, OH?

Date: 2006-05-15 04:00 pm (UTC)I have to delurk and ask... why not? If I lived out in the middle of nowhere, I'd love to have a connection fast enough that I could play MMORPGs with faraway friends, and visit webpages that are not optimized for dial-up, and listen to music I like on webradio instead of the local country-western and easy-rock stations, and share my art and photography, and run a home business. The stuff that people use high-speed Internet for isn't specific to city-dwellers.

The "higher ups" in Time Warner who take calls tend to be huge assholes (though I'm sure your friend isn't).
