@lighttrax Here's a sample of #martian #moss that was only just started. (If I keep drawing, it grows more #nodes and can fill a page.)

Actual Customer Question: I've exceeded all the #memory available with your service but I don't want to delete anything. What should I do?

Rep Yesterday: Could you just squeeze in this one little edit in this one place before you go home?

Rep This Morning: Why didn't you put in these other four related items I did not mention yesterday?

Well it looks like I'll be getting a new phone (and related debt) for Xmas after all!

Rep calling escalation hotline for help with a pressing issue he cannot figure out on his own: Someone wants to know the status of this project!

Me: Have you tried contacting the owner of the project and asking?

Rep: Oh, hey thanks! Yeah, I'll try that!

#smh

Actual customer complaint: The two businessmen in the photo are shaking hands with their left hands. Change it to make them normal.

Some day co-worker B will call in an escalation to which the answer was not previously given to him in multiple training sessions and easily found in the help library. On that day they will need smelling salts to revive me.

Slip this into the playlist to get your revenge on those who would bury you in a tidal wave of holiday music:

Your logo is fine. Quit messing with it.

Complaint: This copy is full of #proofreading errors!

(request for specifics ensues)

Resulting request: We want you to change one letter to lowercase.

For additional #chutzpah #sleazy #scammer points, no I am not receiving any of your twelve separately personalized #scam emails because I am subscribed to a google groups mailing list that is just my own email as stated outright in the footer below the "in no way misleading" BS.

And today's #chutzpah award goes to the fine print at the end of a #spam #scan mail clearly mocked up to be mistaken for a past due invoice:

"This message contains promotional material strictly along the guidelines of the CAN-SPAM act of 2003. We have distinctly mentioned the source mail-id of this email and also disclosed our subject lines. They are in no way misleading."

"...in no way misleading..." - good one, pals.

Every now and then I read #AskAManager to feel so much better about my workplace.

(I have a bad #schadenfreude habit.)

In the course of a conversation with a co-worker I turned up this old document:

Teaching in a Virtual Classroom. A Virtual Classroom on EIES: Final Evaluation Report.
http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED315039.pdf
https://archive.org/stream/ERIC_ED315039/ERIC_ED315039_djvu.txt (text version)

It's about an experimental virtual classroom run with #Upsala College and #NJIT in the 1980's.

If I had not been one of the students, I would think about making a #metafilter post out of this.

#supportticket or #freeverse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"slider blade this video
they want frozen for the thumbnail on 33 seconds for thumbnail image, its
not showing?"

#TFW a colleague thanks you for all your help "with that account" and you don't even remember what you helped with.

#kudos to the #GoDaddy tech who quoted "90 minutes" for a resolution at 5pm yesterday making sure the (not resolved) problem would become the morning tech's problem. Well played lazy tech.
