techrecoveryFor those that didn't know, I work at one of the generic call centers that support dang near anyone..
on one contract, we get about a hundred calls a day from people who tele-commute, mad as spit that they can't connect.. only to find out, they're on a router, and it's connect to the internet has dropped..
client: But.. my computer says it's online!
me: yes.. it IS.... to the router.. that's all that monitors...
client: That's so inconvenient, you're going to change that setting for me so it shows when I'm connected to the internet.....
Me:...... *takes his knife and puts another cut across his arm before smiling good naturedly and explains the facts of microsoft life to the client*
client: So.. what are you trying to tell me?
